Super big dream to climb up those. Wasnt able to secure a permit on holiday last year. Here's hoping to next time.

It’s been a few years since I hiked that area, this is the North Sister, right?

Incredible how different it looks from when I hiked the PCT section of this area this past year. Amazing shot

Thought this was the chocolate bar mountain. Could be a sister mountain of Matterhorn/toblerone mountain.

Which sister is this? How did you get the shot? Was this from a drone? Absolutely gorgeous.

This is mt washington which is north of the three sisters. They have a few look out points along 126. No drone needed just a nice telephoto lens and some luck with the weather.

One of my favorite things to do around Christmas was to go to sisters for their holiday parade and walk through all the little shops. My dad used to take my sister and I every year!

I climbed it about 20 years ago. I think our route can be clearly seen in this photo. We hiked up the ridge along the right. Then we roped up and climbed the last bit, going up along the left side of the peak. Had a beer at the top, then rappelled down the vertical face you can see on the right.

Climb wasn’t that hard, I think others have said it’s a 5.3. But it was made more difficult by the temperature and the fact we couldn’t feel our fingers. It’s strange trying to tell if you have a good grip when your hands are numb.

Mt Washington is a fun climb in the summer, the rock is volcanic though (loose) so rockfall is the biggest danger on the route. Great view of the surrounding mountains from the top and a lovely lake to hop in on the way back to your car.

Source: climbed it a few years ago after seeing this exact view in the winter and saying “I gotta go up there”

In Bend now. A little too cloudy to see the sisters from where I’m at.

Have a really good buddy from there! Met him in the military. He passed away a few years back and always wanted to go to Sisters to visit his family.

Climbed it back in 2001(?) and I remember it being pretty scary considering all the erosion. I was close to the top of Three Finger Jack but never made it to the summit. So same as you, it’s the only mountain I’ve climbed.

FYI, there’s some debate whether Wyeast is really Mt Hood’s original name, or if it even had a common name throughout the region at all: https://www.columbian.com/news/2017/jun/11/anthropologist-dispelling-myths-with-plankhouse-talk/

The doesn’t seem to be any evidence of it prior to the late 19th century via a white author. The guy interviewed here (who’s an athropologist and member of a local tribe) thinks it was probably made up.
