Whittier\, Norway Pass Traverse DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260807T153000 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260809T090000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260808T015004Z UID:activity_instance:15061 DESCRIPTION:Mt Whittier is a scramble route in the Mount Margaret Backcoun try\, a beautiful area just northeast of Mt St Helens that is the same as it ever was\, as in it was left unaffected by the 1980 eruption. It is sai d by some to be a "\;dangerous"\; climb\, but that'\;s a matter of perceptions. No Mazamas climber I'\;ve ever taken on this route has been weirded out. We will do fine with climbing helmets and trekking pole s\, but in an abundance of caution this climb will be canceled if conditio ns are wet.\n\nWe are camping the nights before and after at Cowlitz Fall s Campground SW of Randle WA. Why? This is a long climb\, and I don'\;t like returning home around midnight. \n\nUpon acceptance to the climb\, all climbers will be asked to contribute $16 toward camping. This will be non-refundable unless the climb is canceled eight or more days in advance \, which is unlikely. There will be a pre-climb meeting in camp at 19:00 Friday\, August 7. Our drive to the trailhead will begin at 06:00 Saturda y\, August 8\, subject to the camp agreeing to open its gate at that hour.  It'\;s an 80 minute drive from the campground to Norway Pass. I sugge st leaving Portland at 15:30 Friday\, August 7.\n\nI highly suggest carpoo ling in 4-wheel drive\, higher clearance vehicles\; if you don'\;t have one\, please don'\;t plan to drive solo. You may want to study our Fr iday afternoon drive and our Saturday morning drive.\n\nI expect to begi n climbing at 07:45. Our route will be a counter-clockwise loop that will visit lakes--and peak huckleberries!--where we can refill water bottles wi th quick filters\, before turning south on the mountaineers trail to Whitt ier. The trail to the lakes is more overgrown each year\, so long pants ar e advised. Our climb will ascend 3\,400'\; in 14.4 miles. Expect views of Spirit Lake and Mt St Helens from close range\, and we may also be able to spot Mt Hood\, Mt Adams\, and Mt Rainier.  URL:https://mazamas.org/activity/instance/15061/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Broken Top\, Green Lakes / NW Ridge DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260808T070000 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260809T150000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260808T015004Z UID:activity_instance:15282 DESCRIPTION:None URL:https://mazamas.org/activity/instance/15282/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Prindle Mountain DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260810T193000 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260810T133000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260808T015004Z UID:activity_instance:15723 DESCRIPTION:Prindle Mountain is part of a small network of informal trails west of Archer Mountain. Since this area gets far less traffic than most Gorge trails\, it will likely be overgrown in spots. Our hike is an out-an d-back to a viewpoint that looks across to Multnomah Falls. Along the way\ , we'\;ll pass through a small grove of impressively large trees.\n\nWe '\;ll cover about 7 miles with around 2100 ft of elevation gain. Almost all of the gain is in the first 2.5 miles which makes for a good workout. Note\, a short section of the trail has quite a bit of poison oak which o n previous hikes has been easy to avoid with care.\n\nCarpools will depart from the MMC at 7:30 am.

I t is called Goat "\;Island"\; because during the Little Ice Age\, the mountain was surrounded by a much expanded Emmons Glacier on its north \, and a much longer Frying Pan Glacier to its south. Today\, it is no lon ger an island\, but it still feels like one\, being surrounded by the Sunr ise area of Mount Rainier National Park on its north\, Mount Rainier and L ittle Tahoma to the west\, and Meany Crest\, Banshee Peak\, and the Cowlit z Chimneys to the south. All in all\, this is a moderate scramble to a mou ntain that has wonderful views in all directions. While it is a straight f orward climb technically and is of moderate physical difficulty\, this mou ntain is probably not climbed very often. You should expect to have this s ummit to yourself.

Normally an A-level climb\, Eagle Ca p is offered as a Q-level alpine hike when free of snow. The peak is reach ed by the Eagle Cap Summit Trail. Participants should plan to bring a smal l summit pack with them for summit day\, leaving larger packs behind at ca mp. Expect to negotiate easy scrambling terrain up to YDS class 3 and spen d multiple days in alpine terrain. Note that in contrast to climbs\, Q-lev el hikes may not employ technical equipment (ropes\, axes\, crampons\, hel mets). If conditions are unsafe with out them\, we will turn around.\n\nTh e Wallowas are often compared to the Enchantments\, and its expansive gran ite peaks have been used to stand in for the Sierras in movies. With a lit tle luck\, we’ll enjoy some golden larches.\n\nWe will hike this loop as a three-day backpack. Participants may wish to book a night at the Wallow a Lake campground after the trip to separate the long day from the final ( long) hike out. Total stats are 32.7 miles and 6860'\; of gain. Day by day breakdowns are available in the prospectus linked below.\n\nNote that this time of year is more prone to storms moving through the mountains. I have prepared backup prospectuses for the Golden Lakes in the Lake Chelan Wilderness and for the Badger Creek Wilderness east of Mount Hood. Applica nts to this activity should be committed to potentially pivoting to these alternatives.\n\nThis activity is only open to Mazamas members.\n\nProspec tus URL:https://mazamas.org/activity/instance/15677/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:FM101: camping Deschutes River (OPTIONAL) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261002T160000 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261004T130000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260808T015004Z UID:activity_instance:15584 DESCRIPTION:None URL:https://mazamas.org/activity/instance/15584/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:FM101: rock skills Belay DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261003T080000 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261003T150000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260808T015004Z UID:activity_instance:15585 DESCRIPTION:None URL:https://mazamas.org/activity/instance/15585/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:ICS Field Session: Smith Rock Single Pitch DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261003T080000 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261003T160000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260808T015004Z UID:activity_instance:15578 DESCRIPTION: URL:https://mazamas.org/activity/instance/15578/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:ICS Overnight: Haystack Reservoir DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261003T160000 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261004T080000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260808T015004Z UID:activity_instance:15580 DESCRIPTION:None URL:https://mazamas.org/activity/instance/15580/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Outing: Grand Canyon Rim to Rim to Rim Fall 2026 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261004T000000 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261009T000000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260808T015004Z UID:activity_instance:15638 DESCRIPTION:The Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim is one of the classic hikin g challenges in the American Southwest.\n\nStarting on the South Rim\, we& #39\;ll descend to the Colorado River\, cross through the canyon\, and cli mb to the North Rim.

We'\;ve all seen it happen too often on the news or in everyday life. Life-threate ning bleeding can happen in people injured in serious accidents or disaste rs. The drive home after a climb can be the most dangerous part of a climb . Instead of being a witness\, you can become an immediate responder beca use you know how to STOP THE BLEED® (STB)\n\nWhat You'\;ll Gain from t he Course The person next to a bleeding victim may very well be the one w ho'\;s most likely to save him or her from bleeding to death. By learni ng how to STOP THE BLEED®\, you'\;ll gain the ability to recognize lif e-threatening bleeding and act quickly and effectively to control bleeding once you learn three quick techniques. Take the STOP THE BLEED® training course and become empowered to make a life-or-death difference when a ble eding emergency happens.\n\nHow We Teach In this course there will be a f ormal presentation at the MMC Holman auditorium by Mazamas volunteers who are nationally qualified STB instructors followed by hands-on practice of applying direct pressure\, packing a wound\, and using a tourniquet to st op bleeding. With 3 quick actions\, you can be trained to save a life. Th e #1 cause of preventable death after injury is bleeding.\n\nFor question s\, please contact: stopthebleed@mazamas.org URL:https://mazamas.org/activity/instance/15197/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Board of Directors Meeting DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261201T180000 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261201T200000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260808T015004Z UID:calendar_event:3951 DESCRIPTION:December meeting of the Mazama Board of Directors\n\nIf you ar e a member or volunteer interested in joining a board meeting\, please ema il our board chair RobinWilcox@mazamas.org.
