On September 8th, Scott, Brian, Scott and I climbed Three Fingered Jack. This was all of our first time up this mountain so it was quite an adventure! Super fun climb, cant wait to get back on it!
I climbed this in 1982 with several other people. It's just terrifying to see it now, especially memorable(!) was the crawl. Appropriately named. WHY OH WHY do people CARRY a rope and not USE it?? The drop off that feature is bottomless.
It is very exposed, but the moves are easy, its class 4 on the crawl. its just personal preference to protect. Personally I love the exposure and it makes me feel more alive. nothing was out of my comfort zone for safety.
Gorgeous exposure mate! For a relatively short volcano, it sure has character. For the chute where you roped, how did you protect? I'm guessing there aren't bolts up there...
Yea it's a pretty cool little mountain! One of my favorites. For the chimney I just soloed the lead and clipped into the rap station for a top rope for the rest of the team. But It can be protected with small cams with a crack on the right side of the chimney.
I hiked it this summer just before the fires, looks like around the same time you did. Very sad to think all that beautiful forest is now burnt to a crisp. Nice climb man!
Very nice! Glad to see someone doing it with ropes as thats how I want to.
Hey I ended up doing it! This is a good video on it. Checking this again for inspiration on my edit.

Nice! I hiked around it a few years back and always wanted to summit it. Soon I hope.
