Last week I had the great opportunity to the climb the iconic Broken Top. Sitting south of the Three Sisters Wilderness, Broken Top is a fantastic peak for alpine climbers and ski mountaineers. I had been talking with Jane and Dan about this peak for a year! We also had been watching the weather and finally our scheduled aligned with the weather and we had bluebird day!

Traversing the west side under the summit ridge. We had to 6-8 pitches of steep traversing.
Here is Jane and Dan at a belay at the end of the long traverse. This is the final ledge below the steep summit pitch.
