Attempting to Climb Mt. Jefferson 7-14-2024

Made my first attempt at climbing Mt. Jefferson and packed some cameras. Made it to the red saddle. The traverse was getting pretty soft so I decided to turn around there but I got in my own fun traverse getting to the red saddle because I went around the left side instead of going up the right side like how I got back down.

A lot longer video than I normally upload but I have some timestamps below and felt like keeping it long. My favorite part is the traverse I do at around 32 minutes getting up to the red saddle.

Intro song is Can't Cheat the Mountain by Wayne Carlton and Dave Watson, felt fitting for this one.

Thanks all,
