I got a ride with Doug who climbed the Tatoosh with me and he brought along his wife who didn't make the climb but spent her time taking pictures around the campsite. Also is our car was Celerina who was with me volunteering on Salmon River and Brinda who just graduated ICS and was the assistant.
It was a nice approach, with three log bridges over Fall Creek. We camped at Green Lakes to get up early and beat the heat.
Here is Broken Top and the Green Lakes in the foreground.
I did a little swimming in Green Lakes, but I was careful not to get my head wet. The water was pretty cold.
A great view of the sisters. Broken Top has some of the best views for seeing all the Cascades mountains.
Here's is Brinda setting up the fixed line.
Here's me on the summit, Middle and North Sister in the background.
Here's a group shot on the summit of Broken Top elevation 9,175 ft.
The red mark is the scree decent that we took. It was a little like skiing on tiny rocks, but it was faster than going down the way we came up.
