Cascade Mania - July 19 - Cutthroat Peak
 |
Bucky belaying, up on the ridge.
| |
 |
Ramoo, coming across the ridge. Much of the climb was 4th class, with only a few spots of 5th class.
| |
 |
The next day's objective, Black Peak, looms ominously to the west.
| |
 |
Young Ram comes across the ridge.
| |
 |
Aaron 'gets' to lead the summit pitch, which is not very hard.
| |
 |
Bucky and Larry coming up the blocks to the actual summit.
| |
 |
Summit Photo! and then we rapped and downclimbed the route, and got ready for a big day the next.
| |
 |
Downclimbing the ridge - this ledge across the summit block allowed easy access to the easier, West Ridge.
| |
 |
Larry Halford, out-standing on his ridge.
| |
 |
Moving down the ridge. A bit of tedious downclimbing, a bit of rappelling, more than a bit of tedious dirt-down-climbing... then back to town and Larry's for some grub, and the annual Ram trip to the Mazama General Store.
