May 14th, 2005 - The 5th class alternate route to hiking Blister Hill on Mt Olympus. Its mostly clean class 3 & 4, and its a fun 400 ft scramble to break up the steep hiking!

Note: The route line is only a general one - in general, stay on the arete, occasionally dropping to the north

Maybe I'll give this one a try in a couple weeks after work...?

Re: Woo

Thanks guys - What's nice is to climb this rib, hike on the trail some more, and then climb up the Forgotten Arete before the final class 3 scrmable to the summit! By doing this, you've replaced some 1,600 ft hiking with scrambling! Next time I'm hoping to continue to the northern summits to look for routes up all of them.
