pup_on_the_mountain Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I have to be in Portland this Saturday evening (and Sunday). I'll be driving from Pullman, and can start driving Friday afternoon. I'd love to get some climbing done on Saturday before getting to Portland (I have to be in Portland by 8 pm at the latest). What would you suggest? I'm open to ideas - cragging or something alpine, even volcano slogs. Would Mt Jefferson be even worth considering, and if yes soloable? I've not done much in Oregon (except the Savage Mountain by Leuthold's Couloir), so wouldn't mind checking out an easy route somewhere I haven't been to. If something sounds really appealing and would require partner(s), I'll post separately asking for the same. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcoe Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Aren't you almost driving right past Mt St Helens? I think thats an amazing and unique thing to be up there, and you could do it yourself sans partner on the way. (Get a permit.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinomyte Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Pup: Last year at almost exactly this time a buddy and I climbed Jeff with no gear. Though placing pro might have only been symbolic, I wouldn't suggest soloing across the traverse. It was damn sketchy, certainly the most sketchy I've been on. Hope you find something.

pup_on_the_mountain Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. Unfortunately, there were some change of plans on my side, and I ended up driving only this morning. May be I'll take up on one of these suggestions next time.
