Description:

This climb starts at the Vivian Lake trailhead off of FS23, Hills Creek Rd. The first 4+ miles are on a maintained, well-graded trail, taking us past Notch Lake and up to Divide Lake. This stretch of trail features a LOT of huckleberry, if we're lucky we will find a few ripe ones available for snacking. From Divide Lake we take a rough, steep, class 2 climbers trail to the base of the rock and the southern gully. Helmets go on and we start our rocky, loose, class 2 & 3 scramble to a notch at the head of the gully. We cross the 3rd class ridge and scramble up loose, rocky, class 2+ territory to the summit. There is significant exposure near the top of the gully and across the ridge to the summit. The descent retraces the ascent route.

We will meet at 7:00 AM on the south side (next to OR58) of the Dari Mart parking lot in Pleasant Hill where we can split into carpool groups if people wish. Suggested donation to drivers is $11.55.
