By the time we reached a saddle at 6,266-feet and stopped for lunch — one of the oddities of starting so early is eating a turkey sandwich at 9:30 a.m. — we’d left the forest be- hind and were entering the zone of barren rock and scree that would mark the rest of the jour- ney. The hiking grew steeper, and the views more spectacular, as we climbed toward the rounded summit block of Mount Washington. To the west, Mount Jeffer- son, Three Fingered Jack and Hayrack Butte sliced through the undulating carpet of trees. Finally, sweaty and hot, we reached the base of dark, steep rock at 7,351 feet and put on our hel- mets and harnesses. The hike was over, and the climb was beginning. tamination, specifically: Open bag of raw ham- burgers and self-bagged raw meat stored above ready-to-eat foods in the up-right freezer.

ZACH URNESS / STATESMAN JOURNAL Fear and the ascent One of the things I’ve leaned during a career writing about and climb- ing mountains is that some people are naturally better at handling heights, altitude and ex- posure. Take Hayden. On the mountain, he’s in his ele- ment — joyful and bounc- ing around, explaining each point on the route, each knot tied and piece of equipment, each rock that makes a good hand- hold — with no apparent fear of standing on the edge of a sheer cliff. His confidence, experience and attention to detail make him a perfect guide. I don’t have that same ability. For me, the line between comfort and fear is thinner. When our feet left the ground on the steep, exposed summit block of Mount Washing- PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE OF BUDGET COMMITTEE MEETING A public meeting of the Budget Committee of the Silver Falls School District, Marion and Clackamas Counties, State of Oregon, to discuss the budget for the fiscal year July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021, will be held virtually.

Silverton Appeal 4/15, 4/22/2020 ton, I gripped the rock tighter, took deeper breaths and tested each step. The first pitch is the chimney, a 60-foot wall of dark rock. Hayden climbed ahead and set the rope, allowing Eli and I to attach ourselves for extra safety (and peace of mind) as we followed be- hind, hands gripping sol- id cracks of rock to pull us upward. After the first pitch came a long stretch of scramble climbing -- squeezing around boul- ders and navigating through cracks -- until we reached the second pitch just below the summit ... ... And ran into a traffic jam. For almost an hour, perched on an outcrop, we waited for two earlier groups to finish descend- ing the wall. It was pain- ful. The adrenaline of climbing slowly cools, leaving you with the empty feeling of flat soda. Once the route opened up Hayden scampered up, set the rope and we were off. The second pitch went quickly and Overall climb: 3,128 feet Difficulty: Extreme. Do not attempt without knowl- edge and equipment for technical climbing. Permits: Beginning at some point in 2020 or 2021, you’d need a limited entry permit to stay overnight in the Mount Washington Wilderness, but you WILL NOT need a permit for a day-hike or day-climb from Pat- Jens Trailhead. Season: The mountain is most easily climbed Mid-July to October. It can be climbed when there is snow, but requires ice axes and crampons, and is more difficult. Nearby campground: Big Lake Campground Maps/information: McKenzie River Ranger District, (541)-822-3381; Detroit Ranger District, (503) 854- 3366. Directions: From Salem, follow Highway 22/20 east for 88 miles. Turn right at signs for Hoodoo Ski Area on Forest Road 2690 and follow it past the ski area toward Big Lake. There is parking on the side of the road for PatJens Trailhead, which starts just down the road.

The summit of Mount Washington is a flat and relaxing little perch, like a table top at 7,794 feet, and I could have taken a nap in the sunshine and warm breeze high above the world. “For me, being up here is a spiritual time,” Hay- den said. “I’m this teeny dot in this vast creation that God made. And the creator of this vastness loves me. I really love that feeling.” ‘On rappel’ One of the activities I remember best from summer camps growing Simple Cremation $795 Simple Direct Burial $995 Church Funeral $2965 PUBLIC POLICY NOTICES Public Notices are published by the Statesman Journal and available online at w w w .S ta te s m a n J o u r n a l.c o m .

The idea, I suppose, was to experience being at the mercy of another person, of becoming helpless against gravity with the trust that it wouldn’t end with a “splat” on the ground. Whether this exercise actually increases faith in our fellow man is hard to say, but it does make an impact. And I couldn’t help thinking about the lessons as we prepared to rappel down the pitch just below the summit. The process of leaning backward off the edge of a mountain — when all you can see are cliffs dropping into a gully below — re- quires a very real amount of that summer camp trust, in the rope, the knot and the person who tied the anchor. The landing spot is actually just 60 feet below, but in that moment it feels as though you’re stepping off the edge of the world. “On rappel,” I said. “On rappel,” replied Hayden. Legs against the rock, body suspended in the sky, I moved downward. And the funny thing is -- and it happens every time -- that once you’re men- tally satisfied the rope won’t snap, rappelling is the most exhilarating part of climbing. Hayden, of course, rappelled with the speed of an anchor dropped off a boat, and we moved down the mountain, en- joying one more rappel before reaching solid earth and leaving the summit block behind. The final act of coming down involved putting on gaiters and “scree-skiing” -- putting your heels back and sliding down a hill- side of loose rock and dust into a meadow be- low. We hiked through the meadow, fringed by fir trees and wildflowers, with the mountain’s spiked point rising over- head. “You’ll never look at this mountain the same,” Hayden said. “Once you’ve been to the top, you can never see it the same way.” Zach Urness has been an outdoors reporter, photographer and videographer in Oregon for 12 years.
