Ascent Trip ReportThe first summit of what seems to be becoming an annual affair: a backpacking trip to the Wallowas to get away for a few nights, see some beautiful country, and bag a couple of Oregon's 100 Highest peaks. This one was very straightforward from Echo Lake, with our route one of a myriad of potential routes that would be viable. Standard Wallowa open country ridgeline with occasional light scrambling and some loose rock that never posed any real concern. |
