scheissami Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Any recommendations for some 3rd/4th class scrambles near Portland that are doable as daytrips (besides Hood and St. Helens....)? I'm looking to get some mileage in for training but would prefer not to hike around Forest Park with a heavy pack.... Cheers Quote
kevbone Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Mt. Hamilton. Or any steep hike in the gorge. Quote
Couloir Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Munra Point in the Gorge. Watch for poison oak. Quote
Winter Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Mt. Defiance in the Gorge. You could also head up to Tom, Dick and Harry up above Mirror Lake near Ski Bowl to get in some good elevation gain and scrambling. Quote
scheissami Posted July 13, 2007 Author Posted July 13, 2007 Sweet--thanks for the recs. Now if only I could stay stoked about carrying heavy shit for no reason... Quote
marcus Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Now if only I could stay stoked about carrying heavy shit for no reason... Fill your pack with water + dump it out at your highpoint: get the training bennies w/o trashing your kness on the way down... Quote
Winter Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 fill your pack with beer and have a party on the summit! Quote
