Mazamas — For the Love of Mountains
This is one of the classic lines on a classic NW peak. Expect about 1,000 feet of moderate snow climbing up to about 50 degrees, then comes the fun part - several pitches of near vertical alpine ice, then a stroll to the summit. Descent is typically down the Coleman Deming route
Activity Notes
Applicants must be comfortable backcountry skiing and climbing ice in ski boots
