fheimerd Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 Climb: Middle Sister-South East Ridge Date of Climb: 5/29/2006 Trip Report: My g-friend and I headed up to the middle sister SUnday afternoon. The forcast called for clearing and thn a sunny day Monday. We couldn;t have hit it better. We skied in as clouds lingered. Ran into Letsroll and Jlag on the way out. The had tales of stormy weather and large amounts of snow accumalation. Their report was accurate. As we left treeline towards Camp Lake the wind started blowing and the snow started falling. It was definately wintery. We reached the lake and heard some crazy banging of metal on metal. Turned out a group of geologists was taking a core sample of the lake and were busy pounding rods into the ice. Shit looked heavy. The next day the weather broke with not a cloud in the sky. Aplenglow on the sisters and fresh sbow everywhere. We skinned up the southeast ridge under sunny skies and over wind packed powder. COnditions couldn't have been better for going up. The last bit to the summit we hiked because it was a fairly narrow ridge. The ski down was awesome. Powder-windpack-softened windpack-soft windpack. The full range with some corn mixed in. The ski out was midly bewidlering but we made it to "oregon's best burger" by 6:30 and back in P-town by 10:00 Gear Notes: Ski, ice axe, map Approach Notes: trial, snow Quote
sweatinoutliquor Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 I head that the ice coring trip was an adventure... Apparently there were many feet of ice and snow on that lake still. Sounded like a soppy adventure though. What the hell is Oregon's best burger? Nice work Quote
jlag Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 Believe me I was thinking of you guys driving to Smith on Monday morning. You got a gift from the gods, blue-bird with lots of freshiez. How was the avy conditions? We should of stayed but we had enough of the re-winter for the previous 12 hours. Did you get a good look at the E.face? just curious if the bottom is too melted out/berg too sketchy. Really cool to run into you two, we should go climb something sometime. Oregon's best burger I think is in Madras? Josh Quote
