| calebEOC | Southwest Ridge Route  Date Climbed: Jun 10, 2006 | |

| My dad dropped me off near the Morning Mine as the road was blocked repeatedly by fallen trees from that point on. While my dad explored the mining site I made a mad dash for the summit. I hiked and jogged up the road until reaching the cattle guard then slogged up the ridgeline until reaching the summit two hours after setting out. Beautiful view from the summit, just enough snow on the mountain to make things interesting. Upon return my dad shown me some of the mining wreckage he found around the mine site and the awesome creek blasting out of the hillside. Definitely one of my favorite eastern oregon hikes I have done.
July 7th
Back up here to climb the Greenhorn monolith on the east ridge after checking out Indian Rock. |
