Trip Report

Un-Broken Top
The way yuckier than forecast weather started before we even left the Green Lakes trailhead with blowing snow. We reached our planned base camp on the West flank of Broken Top to find 1+ inch of snow on the ground with more falling and 35-40 mph winds. Given the weather and low summit odds our group voted to put our packs right back on and hike back to the cars. We then traveled to Smith Rock where we enjoyed a good night's sleep and a fantastic day of rock climbing on Sunday. Not quite what we had planned but nice people willing to be flexible made this "Un-Broken Top" trip a great success. Leader- Danni Harris
