Tanner Butte

19.5 miles of hiking • 5000' elevation gain •

Amazing weather, only a light dusting of snow on the beargrass from the storms last week. Sunbathed for an hour up top. Slight detour to see some Indian pits on the way back. First time ever starting at Tooth Rock!

Serpent's Tail Ridge to Chinidere

22.5 miles of hiking • 5500' elevation gain •

A full day's work in this unseasonable weather. Left upper EC parking lot at 7:30am, back to the car around 7:50pm. Not a speck of snow, brilliant ridge climbing. Went up the west face of Chinidere for bonus scramble points. Headlamps on at 4.5 mi bridge around 6:30pm.

Silver Star to Little Baldy

12.5 miles of hiking • 4000' elevation gain •

Started at Grouse Vista. Up to Pyramid Rock, then up the right side trail to SS. We continued on the Bluff Mtn trail and then up a talus slope to Little Baldy. Sustained winds on the summit of at least 50mph - I had to hide in the windbreak, where it was bearable. Back on the talus use path halfway down, I went around the east side and almost got knocked off my feet by the wind. We scrapped plans to explore a ridge to the north and returned to SS, then on to Sturgeon Rock and back down to the car. Lovely day, aside from the wind.

Pearly Gates attempt

6.5 miles of hiking • 5000' elevation gain •

Left Portland at 3am. Left the parking lot at 5am. Hogsback at 8:30am. Conditions were not good, too warm (38º?) and plenty of rime falling all over the place. Entered the left Gate but ultimately retreated about 300 ft shy of the summit due to soft snow, icefall, and no rope. Matt scampered over to the right Gate during this and went to the summit. D'oh. Unfortunately, a roped couple fell out of the Old Chute and broke some bones while we were up there. (But at least it wasn't more than that!) Beautiful day, but too late of a start for Juneuary. Expensive buffet was subsequently eaten at Timberline.

Deadwood Chute via Mossy Gates

13 miles of hiking • 5250' elevation gain •

Offtrail exploration of the chute NW of Deadwood Point. Socked appropriately for a gully exploration. Continued to Green Point Mountain, then down the Wyeth Spur as a "shortcut" - ended up getting down in the dark after some trials and tribulations.

Illumination Saddle

5.5 miles of hiking • 3500' elevation gain •

Got an early start and left Timberline at 6:30am. Watched the sunrise as we climbed the ski runs. At the top of the Palmer, skiers reported impassibly deep powder on the Hogsback, so any thought of going up was abandoned, and instead we walked over to Illumination Saddle for lunch. So sunny and warm, it was like spring.
