Here is Three Finger Jack, it was a beautiful day to climb.
Here is the group climbing up the ridge, three of us had done this mountain before and there were three first timers.
Good views of Broken Top the Sisters and Mt. Washington from left to right.
Roger on a short chimney.
A section called the cliffhanger trail, this was the beginnig of the hard part of the climb. Then came the section called "the Crawl" and the summit block.
Me on the ridge, you can see the fire damage of two years ago in the background.
A good view of the south ridge which we came up and "The Cliffhanger Trail" and "The Crawl" in the foreground.

Roger rappeling and Ryan setting the fireman's belay as a backup.
Me climbing the last bit on the summit block.
Me on the summit of Three Finger Jack elevation 7,844 ft.
We made it to the top, but we still have to down climb which can be a little scary.
We used the scree decent with you can see in red that saved us a little time but the whole climb took about 13 hours.
