Climbed Mt Jefferson via the West Rib on Sat June 7th. Ended up camping up Milk Creek gully right before the 1st waterfall. Trail is snow free all the way up to the PCT. Our objective was N. Milk Creek Gully but due to very warm temps we opted for the steeper West Rib. Great snow conditions, steep in spots but nothing too bad. Didn't bother with rope or crampons. Took about 6 hours to the summit pinnacle. Climbing the pinnacle with such warm temps made it a little sketchy but just enough to keep me interested. Only saw a party of two coming from the S. Side.Strange board ride down, poop snow from 10k to about 9k then perfect corn snow all the way down. Lots of slush sluffing off. Partner broke a binding and ended up skiing one ski for the remaining 3500 vertical. All in all a great trip, colder temps would be nice for the next weekend warrior trip. Been up to the base of Early Morning C. twice now, too much shit coming down. Maybe this coming weekend if anyone's interested.
