No Sweat - No Sweat Arete

5.7, 4 pitches

https://www.mountainproject.com/route/107213152/no-sweat-arete Quick summary of what you’re getting into… Ticks, lots and lots of ticks during tick season (even on Aug 5th we found 3 on us). Location on MP is wrong, I’ve submitted a correction and also posted GPX approach/descent trails) Not the best approach (1-1.5 hrs), steep dirt scree slopes for the second half…

Dome Peak - Gran Torino

5.9, 13 pitches

See Cascades Rock book by Blake Herrington. I think the other route on this peak is actually easier since it has fewer tough pitches.

Little Big Chief Mountain - Falcon Route

5.9, 9 pitches

In the middle of nowhere! Apparently Middle Fork had a landslide on Dec 31, 2019, and is still probably closed because of that. Mid-summer is earliest estimated reopoening.

The Tooth - The Tooth Fairy

5.9+, 7 pitches

Such a good route! Well bolted, accurate grade, fun climbing, good route! It’s basically like Flyboys but only 7 pitches. And it’s only a 2 hr approach. Only 3 rappels (and a little scrambling) to get down the standard tooth route too! Big thanks to https://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/topic/103041-tr-das-toof-the-tooth-fairy-59-08152019/?tab=comments#comment-1157791 Gear 13 draws, 60m rope. Or if linking, 15…

Mythic Peak - Green Creek Arete

5.6, 6 pitches

New log bridge: https://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/topic/104154-tr-twin-sisters-range-green-creek-circuit-08192021/ Mostly easy scrambling up an arete. Excellent description here. Like many routes in the Sisters the climbing was much easier than it looked. We scrambled up delightful 3rd and 4th class rock before slipping into rock shoes for a clean exposed slab on the crest of the arete. The horizontal section…
