Mazamas — For the Love of Mountains
The North Ridge route on Jefferson covers some of the terrain the challenging Jeff park Glacier route, but has a bit more ridge/rock scrambling. The route averages about 45 degrees, with the loose rock typical of the OR Cascades. As with many routes on Jeff, good conditions play a major role in success.
