Description:

We will meet bright and early at the Albertson's parking lot in Springfield, near the intersections of Main Street and 126. Look for the group in the NE corner of the lot. We'll drive up to Santiam Pass, climb 3FJ, and return in the same day. Expect a late return back to Eugene/Springfield.
Three Fingered Jack is a great day climb. Most of our distance will be covered on the PCT, but don't underestimate the climb/scramble up to the ridge. This climb offers some exciting exposure and great views of the Oregon cascades on a clear day. We will protect both the traverse and the final climb with rope systems.

Trip Report

This Obsidian team was strong out of the parking lot, trying to stay ahead of a rumored Mazama group sharing the mountain. We made good time to the ridge and were pleasantly surprised to only find two people ahead of us. Our early start (4am from Springfield) paid off as there were over 25 people on the mountain the same day! We enjoyed a bluebird day in the mountains and for 6 members of our team it was a first Three Fingered Jack summit! The rock was, well, crumbly, but the company was fantastic. The summit stickers were an added bonus.
