Mazamas — For the Love of Mountains
Activity Notes
This four-pitch 5.6 alpine rock climb is one of the the 50 Classic Climbs in North America. Ice, snow, solid rock, and alpine scenery all blend together. This a very popular area is the starting point for many climbs, so permits are often difficult to obtain on summer weekends.
Times: 3 hr to camp, 6-9 hr climb to summit.
A classic technical Cascade route, this climb has an easy approach (~3 hours) and a spectacular high camp. This climb demands a variety of climbing skills - glacier travel, good route finding, and efficient fast climbing on 4th and easy 5th class rock. A great alpine route!
Preference given to AR/ICS graduates!
