Description:
Climb to the top of our amazing state. Meet to carpool from Eugene at Coburg rd Shopko at 8:30pm Friday evening May 4th or meet at Timberline Wy'east lodge climbers hut at 12am Saturday morning May 5th. Climb via standard south side route to the Hogsback and ascend Old Chute or Pearly Gates depending on conditions. Descend to Timberline. Celebrate our success (or drown our bitter sorrows) with milkshakes at the DQ in Sandy. Return to Eugene late Saturday afternoon. This climb requires considerable physical and mental stamina. Climbers may be asked to do a pre-climb training hike with the leader to evaluate their fitness. We prefer to climb Saturday but may push back to Sunday for a better weather if needed.
