North Sister, NE Ridge, July 22, 2012


Lead a fantastic group of 10 Mazamas plus my daughter Katie up the rarely-climbed NE ridge on North Sister. Great assist, Mark Fowler!

The NE shoulder of Prouty Pinnacle is definitely my most junk lead ever, barely beating out the first pitch on Glisan pinnacle (which I remembered being not so bad last time I made it to the saddle between the two pinnacles). Neither pitch had anything truly solid anywhere. But we got 11 folks up it, and it only took 19 hours.

And, the hike in and the base camp are as terrific as I remember.
