Say hi to the big bull trout at the camp Sherman store. They live under the bridge.

Mt Washington is a fun climb in the summer, the rock is volcanic though (loose) so rockfall is the biggest danger on the route. Great view of the surrounding mountains from the top and a lovely lake to hop in on the way back to your car.
Source: climbed it a few years ago after seeing this exact view in the winter and saying āI gotta go up thereā

I climbed it about 20 years ago. I think our route can be clearly seen in this photo. We hiked up the ridge along the right. Then we roped up and climbed the last bit, going up along the left side of the peak. Had a beer at the top, then rappelled down the vertical face you can see on the right.
Climb wasnāt that hard, I think others have said itās a 5.3. But it was made more difficult by the temperature and the fact we couldnāt feel our fingers. Itās strange trying to tell if you have a good grip when your hands are numb.

How about we leave some back country āunderdevelopedā forever is my take.

A great thing about the shops is that most of them fail within a year, so there's always fresh spots to check out!

This is not in any way a realistic take on Sisters, Oregon

Calling those mountains underdeveloped is the douchiest thing Iāve ever heard someone say about wild areas. Do you want to explore or wait for an escalator?

So that North Ridge would be the easiest but of the most difficult rating?

North ridge is comfortably a 5.3. The 5.0, 5.3, 5.1 ratings are the ratings of the 3 pitches. Also, it has a horrible downclimb if you donāt bring rap gear.

No itās definitely Washington. Jefferson doesnāt have trees anywhere near its spire and itās much more narrow.
