Description:
This climb is reserved for 2016 Climb School students. Others will be placed on the wait list. After August 10, the climb will be open to all qualified climbers.
Meet at Santiam Pass PCT Friday evening for car camping. We’ll start out on the PCT at 4:30 AM and climb the standard south ridge route. Meeting location and departure time from Eugene and carpool arrangements TBD. The first 4-1/2 miles of the approach follows the Pacific Crest Trail with an elevation gain of about 1,600'. The route then leaves the PCT and follows a climbers' trail to the south ridge. We'll follow the south ridge on loose volcanic rock until we get to "the Crawl", where we'll follow a fixed rope to get to the other side and then scramble to the bottom of the chimney to rope up again for the final summit push. We'll follow the same route on the descent with the exception of plunge-stepping down loose scree on the "scar" of the west slope of the mountain until we reach the PCT again.
