Trip Report

We left Eugene in the pouring rain on Friday and arrived to mostly clear skies in northern California later that night. We camped at Castle Crags State Park and woke up at 4:45 AM to start the hike up to the climb. Marci Hansen came back from the bathroom and sounded the alarm, "The Mazamas are here!". The word struck terror in us since we know what that means...there will be large group of climbers on our route! We packed in a hurry and started off on the hike. We got into the Castle Dome area not long after sunrise and were heading to the route when we spotted them...the Mazamas. Rats! They are heading over to Mt Hubris (the most popular climb in the park). There was no way to find a faster route through the death manzanita so we stopped and had a short break. We decided to go over to the start of the climb so the new folks in our group could see where it started. The Mazamas were getting ready to climb and with 6 of them on the route there wouldn't be time or space for the 6 of us to climb it, especially with the weather coming in. We decided instead to scramble up Castle Dome and then tried another climb in a different area. Everyone was disappointed, but we still had fun. The drive back was the most exciting part of the trip with the high winds and heavy rains, but everyone made it home safely.
