Anyone poking around the OR Cascade volcanoes recently? Specifically interested in Jefferson and N. Sister, but any recent beta is greatly appreciated!

TIA

bump for updates

A very dry summer in Oregon, but that may change in the next day or two. I went up Three Fingered Jack a couple weeks ago - lots of loose rock and gravel-covered ledges with exposure, but the rock is OK where it needs to be.

For the North Sister, I would expect that the traverse would be snow-free by now, or if there is snow, it could be easily bypassed by dropping down below it. Don't know about Jefferson, but would expect a steep icy snow traverse on the west side, possible crevasse bergshrund issues on the Jeff Park glacier.

You might check over at CascadeClimbers.
Here's a recent TR there of the Jeff Park Glacier route:
