The infamous Bowling Alley

North Sister

North Sister is an often overlooked peak that has two classic climbs on it; The South Ridge and the Northeast Ridge. Each of these climbs has very steep snow or ice climbing with a much more reasonable approach than Mt. Jefferson. For this reason, 'North' is a great test of endurance if you are considering any of the climbs on Mt. Jefferson. While many folks wait until late season to climb it, our guides prefer the steep snow of early season to the shattered rock of late season. Significant previous experience is required for any North Sister climbs.

This is a beautiful and remote alpine summit involving an approach day, and a day to climb and hike out.

Early the next morning we'll rise and climb to the saddle between Middle and North Sister. From here, we'll gain the immense South Ridge traversing some steep snow in the process. The summit pinnacle includes 2 pitches of roped but easy rock climbing. Previous experience is required.
