Route Climbed: North West Ridge Date Climbed: September 1, 2002
Great climb over a three day weekend. We ended up doing the Northeast Shoulder on Prouty Pinnacle(Picture in Oregon High in the front of the Three Sisters/Broken Top Section) to top off the day. Marginal protection from the col up to the defined belay ledge. Nice exposed move out of the overhang onto some dirty 4th class scramble to the summit. Our party of five all did the route on a fixed line, both up and down the pinnacle. The descent down the ridge was uneventful except for some pretty strong wind gusts that coated my contacts with a fine grit.
Spent another night at Mini Scott Springs before hiking out the following day.
