On the North Ridge

Mt Washington

Mt. Washington hosts three routes on its rocky summit. There is no better place in the Oregon Cascades to try out your alpine rock climbing skills. For those starting out, the North Ridge Route is the route of choice. For those looking at a longer, more difficult climb we suggest the long Southeast Ridge, or the steeper and more difficult West Ridge.

Mt. Washington 

North Ridge
(1 Day)

The North Ridge route is a technically easy but strenuous climb. Once on route the climb contains about 3 pitches of rock climbing leading to one of the most dramatic viewpoints in the range. This is a great climb for the first time climber who is interested in climbing rock in the mountains. The Basic Rock Course or previous rock climbing experience is required.

Offered: July 25, Aug. 1, Aug. 8, Aug. 22, Sept. 5. Additional dates arranged on request.
Ratio: 2:1
Cost: $250 per climber for groups of two or more.

Southeast Spur
(1 Day)

Claimed by many to be the best route on Mt. Washington this beautiful knife edged ridge has lots of steep terrain and some of the best rock on the mountain. While the technical difficulties never exceed 5.5, the length, exposure and position make this one of the "must do" routes in Oregon. Previous rock climbing experience required.

Offered: July 25, Aug. 1, Aug. 8, Aug. 22, Sept. 5. Additional dates arranged on request.
Ratio: 2:1
Cost: $250 per climber for groups of two or more.

West Ridge
(1 Day)

One of Mt. Washington's premier rock routes, the West Ridge is one of the most sustained routes on the mountain. Containing 7 pitches of technical rock up to 5.8 in difficulty, this climb places the climber in incredible positions on the ridge with sweeping views down either side. Significant previous climbing experience is required.

Offered: July 25, Aug. 1, Aug. 8, Aug. 22, Sept. 5. Additional dates arranged on request.
Ratio: 2:1
Cost: $250 per climber for groups of two or more.
