bradleym Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 no, i didn't climb it -- never will -- and it makes me pucker just contemplating such a thing.... but, i got up close to 7k on a bluebird day (Sunday) and thought i'd share the images. haven't posted here in a while. i left the ramona trailhead at 9a, got to the falls about 10, then hit the 6k viewpoint at just past noon. got past the scramble and up to the meadow about 2, whereupon i stopped, ate lunch, took pictures, listened to rockfall, watched the people over on mcneil point, then started back down around 3p, arriving back at the trailhead around 7.30p. currently testing my 46-year-old knees for possible summit attempt this winter via south side or cooper spur. everything held together pretty well, albeit under good conditions. scraped a knee descending the scramble which was quite muddy. anyway, here are the images: Yocum Ridge Day Hike enjoy!

dougd Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) looks perfectly solid to me Only in Oregon is shist stacked that high... BTW, early spring is good for the spur IMO. Winter's good too but... d Edited September 4, 2013 by dougd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcweiskopf Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Nice! Been wanting to do a long day out trail running up there and see how far I can get up the ridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
