McClellan Butte. 7 mi, 3,195 ft (from FR 9020). #PNW #hiking Finally cleared to hike again! Unfortunately, the peak was in the clouds the entire time I was up there. Still enjoyable, though. The class 3 scramble at the top was a nice feature.

The scramble gains about 600 ft over the last 0.6 miles. Foot and hand holds were not a problem, although there was a lot of loose rock. The route is climber’s right of the ridge. Falling would entail sliding along the rocky surface (“human cheese grater”) before a 1,000 ft drop. #PNW #hiking
