Mt. Jefferson OR summit climb, 6/22/2024 via Pamelia lake trailhead and shot up the avalanche area. This was in a single days push. We started at 2:00am and got back to the car at 8:30pm. 18.5 hours to climb in total.
Thanks for showing the highs and lows in full detail. Great summit push. How many rapells did it take to descend off of the summit ridge? And what length of rope did you use?
@@jaredempey5706 thank you for the feedback. We ended up using a 7.7mm 40m sterling rope. Repelled from the summit block only. 40M rope worked for us but I would probably bring a 60M if I did it again 🤙
@huntervoris7779 thanks for the info. Did you think that the 40m rope got you past the worst of the descent or did you have to do multiple rapells to feel like it was safe enough to down climb?
Why a rope to traverse if you aren't putting pro in? Rule 2 in a no fall zone is probably something like dont drag your partners off if you fall. Glad you're all down safely.
We had planned to place more protection but didn’t feel the need once we got closer to the summit block. We ended up rapping down as well so it came in handy. Thanks for watching!
