Sep 15-17, 2000 -- Mt. Jefferson via the South Ridge Route

Knew this would require endurance and stamina and it did. Great sense of accomplishment on summiting. Loose rock required purposeful hand and foot placement especially on descent. Lessons learned: 2 liters of water was not enough. Had to use cold snow melt which tended to give me a chill. Will carry 3-4 liters of water for ascent next time. Will take down jacket, plenty of dry tops and down booties for after climb for 2001 to get warm immediately after climb.
