Scrambling the dinner plates pitch
not far from start /end of hike about 1 mile from campground where we parked. burned forest with new growth- beautiful and eerie - wont look like this for too long
Looking down from the headwall.
https://caltopo.com/m/M4E3: Our approach skips the cairn turnoff described on this page and continues south along the PCT until heading up from the gentle toe of the West Ridge at a small clearing. A very comforable approach that avoided any scree.
Start in a small alcove below the notch. Either go directly up cracks, 5.7/8. Or travsre right around on easy “rope drag” rock 5.4.
Dinner plates, showing the ridge approach we took.
Getting into the dinner plate pitch.
Chossy goodness and a great view
leading up the dinner plate pitch.
