Plummer Peak is usually done in conjunction with Pinnacle. It is a rounded summit just SW of Pinnacle. Plummer involves a 2nd class .25-mi heather scramble from trail's end at the saddle. It's about the technically easiest "climb" the Mazamas ever do!

Activity Notes

Originally a Unicorn climb, this became a climb of Plummer Peak.

 

This is a great first climb for BCEP grads. It really puts it all together. 

We'll hike in from the Snow Lake Trailhead past the lakes and then up through some steep bowls/chutes where we may need crampons depending on the conditions. Then we need to cross over or through a moat and up onto a traverse to the summit block. A variety of 4th to mid-5th class routes to the summit await us. We rap off the top and retrace our route back down. There are usually two or three long glissades down the chutes.

I will look into camp sites at Cougar Rock the night before.

Once skills and experience are accounted for, I make every effort to balance my climbs with team members of different genders and backgrounds. I'm committed to creating safe and fulfilling experiences for everyone in the mountains.
