Suggestions for Saturday?

[pup_on_the_mountain]

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

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.

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.

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.
