| Me and Cameron again. Last Mtn we ever took liquor up. Got a little carried away at the top and worried we might not make it down. Stupid kids. | |

| Nice hike in to Green Lakes, and a fun jaunt to the summit in great weather. A little loose at the top, but a pretty easy scramble overall. | |

| Karl Helser | NW Solo... Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2008 | |
| S Sister yesterday and Broken Top today. A good way to get some elevation and see some incredible scenic views. From BT trailhead to the summit the trail is snow free so leave the ice axe & crampons at home. There is still lots of running water throughout the moraine fields all the way to just below where the trail meets the ridge. | |

| Great climb on an often overlooked mountain! The Three Sisters get a lot of attention, but Broken Top has a lot to offer as well. I would highly recommend you add this one to your list! | |

| neswstar | great day Date Climbed: Aug 24, 2007 | |
| Wonderful sunshiny day. We were suppose o do Shucksan but cancelled due to weather. Drove here instead. Just 2 of us. beautiful day - no one on the route at all. Went up the 2nd right hand crack - much easier than the one on the left (did 2 years ago). But took the whole 60m rope to get anchor built at saddle. Thousands of flys on top - creepy. Came down on the back side of the rock and traversed back around. Then skied the scree slope - very glad to have remembered gaiters and poles this trip. | |

| wrassleman07 | took wrong route... Date Climbed: Aug 24, 2007 | |
| decided to try this mountain, after seeing it from the summit of S. Sister last year. must have read the directions wrong, and took a bit of a cross country trip. what we thought was the NW ridge was actually not, and was actually climbing the ridge across the valley on the right of NW ridge. Don't know if it was harder/easier?? it was difficult as we were back packing it, and had our packs to the summit (bad idea). there were some rough spots with some scary slips, but all made it out alirght. slept in tents at the glacier adjacent that ridge. very nice. had quite the adventure | |

| Karl Helser | Back via Cayuse Crater... Date Climbed: Aug 5, 2007 | |
| Third time at the summit. This was a solo overnighter. I came in via the Broken Top trailhead. I turned right, cross country, at the last creek before getting to Green Lakes, followed the creek to its beginning where it was bubbling up from the ground. That's where I camped. I summited the next morning. I decide to cross country back to the car by staying high and crossing over the SW Ridge and over Cayuse Crater, a large pile of black & red cinder. | |

| Infected Mushroom | NW ridge Date Climbed: Jul 26, 2007 | |
| Same day as Mr clam but hours earlier. Less Exposure to the ridiculous heat. Nice approach trail via green lakes but way too crowded even for a week day. | |

| Mr. Clam | Ski descent Date Climbed: Jul 26, 2007 | |
| Climbed up the left side of the summit block and descended the right. Definitely no 5 class. The scree ski down the west face was amazing. | |

| Diggler | Independence Day NW ridge afternoon scramble Date Climbed: Jul 4, 2007 | |
| Got a late start (13.31) after getting into Bend late morning (left campsite N of Shasta early morn). Scramble up ridge was fun, & views great. Bouldering problem short but stimulating (always that way when you don't trust the holds 100%!). Summited 16.56. Views from top were phenomenal (esp. of S Sister), the weather perfect. Soaked it in for awhile, then descended same way (left summit 17.17), killing at least 100 mosquitoes en route (hungry bastards & forgot the DEET- d'oh!). Back at car ca. 20.30- still managed to make it to Bend in time for food at Baldy's BBQ (barely) & to check out the fireworks (including the setting afire of Pilot Butte). Funnest climb I've done around the Sisters. | |

| highice | alpine face var. | |
| we did a long snowshoe into the NW ridge and camped. scary log crossing with 3 ft of snow on its top was the hardest part of the climb. we saw a nice alpine ice face below the summit, so traversed out to this from the ridge and climbed to the top (about 200 ft?). couldn't see the rime awaiting until I was already in it, so this was a bit scary, but not like that darn log! | ||

| cascadetraveler | First day of Fall Date Climbed: Sep 23, 2006 | |
| It was the first day of Fall as We headed up The Green lakes trail at 7:15 a.m. It was a cool, brisk walk into the Green lakes basin. We headed east over trackless pumice fields to intercept climbers trail. It was cool and windy as we headed up the northwest ridge. We reached the cliff band were there was a bit of snow. We free climbed the cliff band and proceeded up the ramp to the summit. We enjoyed the views, snapped some pictures and ate some lunch. We headed back down to the cliff band acroos the rotten rock of the ramp. I carried a rope and some pro with me. It was decided to set up a rap station and by pass the cliff band and some Chossy rock to a belay ledge below. We then scree skied down the west flank and into the pumice fields below. | |

| Climbed the peak with Rick Kent, snow from the TH to the ridge. Clear after that. This route barely rates class 3, not sure how it got the tougher rating. Trip Report | |

| Karl Helser | Second time up... Date Climbed: Sep 10, 2006 | |
| Second time up this cool mountain. This is a good annual climb. Quick & scenic. 70 deg at the summit at 10:00am and 90 deg at the car. | |

| osatrik | SW ridge | |
| In 1967 my girl friend's brother (my future brother-in-law) and I approached the mountain from the road to the east, crossed the mouth of the crater to the SW ridge, and scrambled as high as we felt safe. | |

| cascadetraveler | A late report/ excellent climb Date Climbed: Aug 17, 1997 | |
| WE camped at the crater ditch trailhead above todd lake. we spent a cool night out under the stars and awoke to a crisp clear morning. We made excellent time to the eastern edge of green lakes basin. we then headed towards northwest ridge. we gained the ridge headed upwards until we hit the 10 foot cliff band that requires some bouldering skills or in are case a fixed line set to overcome the obstacle. we then set another rope along the ramp to the summit for some extra security for are group. I really enjoyed this one, a cool looking mountain with spectacular views and some rock climbing as a bonus. | |

| Turbo | Route Climbed: Northwest Ridge Date Climbed: Jul 28, 2006 | |
| It was probably a bit foolish, but my three climbing partners and I summitted this one just after midnight. We climbed together all summer and because of this late night summit we dubbed ourselves the 'Midnight Mountaineers.' Slept on a small level spot a few hundred feet below the summit and awoke to a spectacular view of the Three Sisters and the Black Crater forest fire that was burning near Sisters Oregon at the time of our climb. | |
