Three Fingered Jack via South Ridge route

August 3, 2025

Coordinator: Noel Tavan

Summit Altitude: 7844 feet
Elevation Gain: 3200 feet
Round-trip Distance: 11 miles
Excursion Time: 12 hours (car-to-car)

Great day. Miranda turned around after ~1mi due to being tired from a long previous day. Ty turned around with her. Ashis, Lisa and Noel made it to the summit. Noel didn't set the crawl traverse correctly and made the start extra spicy (exposed with narrow foot ledge). Amber decided to wait for the group before the crawl.

We used 2 60m rope. It was perfect. For the summit pitch, we did it in 2 belay stations using existing anchors. We were able to rap down from the summit all the way down with the 60m.
