| Climbed this on a short snowshoe outing--up a chute straight up the middle of the SW Face (frozen snow, axe/crampons) almost directly to the summit, then a short, steep, loose class 3 scramble up the summit block. Descended the SE side a short way to follow the south ridge down. Cool peak with a great view of Brokeoff and Lassen.
Snowshoed out to Cinder Cone from Hwy 44 the next day... more good views of Lassen, and an amazing view of the Fantastic Lava Beds. Outstanding weekend. |
