Yo QJackson,

I think the West Rib route is going to be the bestchioce for a winter/spring climb.You'll have to apporoach via Pamelia Lake and since they don't plowthe road(USFS 2246) you'll have about 2.5-3 milesto ski up the road, to the trailhead. It's 2.3 milesto Pamelia Lake 2.5-3 miles onto the toe of the RibThe West Rib averages 45 degrees, with 75-90 deg.on the summit pinnacle. The most asthetic route onthe mountain (IMHO), the shortest approach, the mostdirect route to the summit and on the most logicalpart of the summit pinnacle. Right out of the JeffThomas 'Oregon High' guidebook: "Well conditionedclimbers use the West Rib for one-day climbs ofJefferson during the winter or early spring". I'veclimbed the route and it is a great climb; if youhave any more questions, send me a PM.
