Climbing Oregon's Mt. Jefferson Alone

Mt. Jefferson is Oregon's second tallest volcano, standing about 10,495ft tall. The route included a bit of a shortcut to get to the standard Jefferson Park route. I estimate the round trip to be around 14 miles up and down over 6,000ft of vert. The hike included hours on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), thousands of feet of steep loose rock, crossing the entire Whitewater glacier, and some relatively steep snow climbing and traverse. It is certainly one of the more challenging Cascade peaks.
