Trip Report

Wow! What a great trip. Rarely have I had a climb go so very smoothly. Saturday we hiked to the springs East of Green Lakes to our scenic campsite. Before dinner we had a chance to go over a few knots and key rope skills to make sure everyone was ready. Sunday morning we got a 5:15 am start to insure we would be the 1st group to the summit. The sunrise from the ridge was amazing. We were surprised to find a group of 2 climbers ahead of us who had spent the night on the ridge. The other climbers choose a slightly different ascent route so there was little waiting. All 7 of our team were enjoying the summit by 8:15 and back to camp by mid-day. The Fall Creek trail was crowded but all made fast time back to the trailhead. We topped off the trip with traditional post climb ice cream in Oakridge. It was the 1st Broken Top Summit for all except the leader. Pleased and proud to climb with such a strong and fun team. Good job, y'all!!
