Mount Jefferson- Southwest Slope Route

July 12 to July 13, 2025

Coordinator: Noel Tavan

Summit Altitude: 10497 feet
Elevation Gain: 7400 feet
Round-trip Distance: 16 miles

Awesome trip. All made the summit. The traverse had plenty of new snow and was easy to punch thru and make step. Instead of going around the standard route, we opted to go straight up. We had 3 ropes which we used 2 to setup the fixed line.
