Mt. Jefferson
 
On the summit of Jefferson

Mt. Jefferson

Mt. Jefferson has the distinction of being Oregon's second highest peak. The standard South Ridge Route has some steep snow and a bit of easy rock climbing to gain the summit pinnacle. There are several spectacular routes on the mountain, including the ultra-classic Jefferson Park Glacier. If you are interested in a challenging spring climb, consider the West Rib Route. If you are looking for a mid-summer climb and have technical climbing experience choose the Jefferson Park Glacier. All routes on Mt. Jefferson require significant previous experience.

Mt. Jefferson

The South Ridge
(3 Days)

The South Ridge Route is a physically demanding climb that will challenge the intermediate climber with a bit of steep snow and rock climbing. This route is a good choice for climbers who have done a few other climbs before. Climb participants should be comfortable on steep snow and easy fifth class rock.

Offered: July 12-14, July 20-22. Additional dates arranged on request.
Ratio: 2:1
Cost: $720 per climber for groups of two or more.

 

West Rib
(2 Days)

The West Rib is one of the most direct routes on Mt. Jefferson. It is best done as an early season climb when the rib itself is completely covered in snow. It is also a great winter route due to the direct nature of the climb. Participants should come prepared to climb a lot of steep snow and close to vertical rime ice on the summit pinnacle. This is dramatic climb that is done only occasionally.

Offered: Mid April- May. Dates arranged on request.
Ratio: 2:1
Cost: $700 for one climber, $500 per climber for groups of two or more.

Jefferson Park Glacier
(3 Days)

This route is the quintessential alpine climb of the Oregon Cascades. The Jefferson Park Glacier route encompasses  significant steep climbing in all mediums, snow, ice and rock. Steep glacier ice, followed by a long rock ridge, leads to moderate snow climbing to reach the summit pinnacle. A few pitches of moderate but exposed rock on the pinnacle lead to the summit of Oregon's most difficult peak. Significant previous climbing experience is required.

Offered: Late June- mid July. Dates arranged on request.
Ratio: 2:1
Cost: $1050 for one climber, $720 per climber for groups of two or more.
