tedserres Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 GMan, There are over 10 routes described in Jeff Thomas' book 'Oregon High'. It is currently out-of-print but tThe Mazamas have a limited quantity available if interested. www.mazamas.org -Ted Quote
mattp Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 The northwest ridge is a spectacular hike up a sharp ridgecrest, ending with a short boulder problem up a ten foot wall, followed by a scramble rightward to the summit ridge. If you want to belay the exposed class three climbing, take some VERY long runners and a single rope. Quote
G_Man Posted September 5, 2001 Author Posted September 5, 2001 We ended up scrambling up what appears to be the southwest ridge to a second summit at 9,094 ft. spectacular views of from Mt. Adams to Mt.Shasta. Lota scree...eveyone luv's scree right. The Green lakes area was a mob scene! Thank to the Ladies from bend for the ride back to Devils Lake tralhead. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted September 5, 2001 Posted September 5, 2001 Gman did you hit the Gspot for those ladies' troubles? Quote
G_Man Posted September 7, 2001 Author Posted September 7, 2001 unfortunately not. the six loads with me had been in a hurry to get to food & beer. My mind was in the right place though. Quote
gapertimmy Posted September 12, 2001 Posted September 12, 2001 G_Money- Why were you parked at devils lake if going up NW ridge of broken top? Just curious, did you do s sister first? Quote
G_Man Posted September 14, 2001 Author Posted September 14, 2001 The original plan was to "run" up S.Sister via Moraine Lk. Now it being labor day with the crowds and all, all we decided to push on to green lakes and figure shit out from there. So we figured we would have just as good of a time going up broken top, and less crowds as well, we made the journey. Apparently the less traveled route, we hadn't seen anyone atop broken top. Quote
