Ascent of Larch Mountain on 2011-04-30| Other People: | Solo Ascent
| | Date: | Saturday, April 30, 2011 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Peak: | Larch Mountain | | Location: | USA-Oregon | | Elevation: | 4055 ft / 1235 m |
Ascent Trip ReportBare trail up to about 2100', packed snow from there to the top. I only used the ice-ax on the top 15 feet, which is the summit outcropping just to side of the platform.
I tweaked me knee on the way down, which turned a two hour descent into over three.
