"Solo 4 Sisters Traverse 6.2.2018! (South Sister, lil So. Sister, North Sister and Black Sister) FINALLY!!!
Harlan has tried to coach me through this traverse several times and I only end up at South Sisters. He has even gone on his own to scope out the best route. Today I felt obligated to put this project in the done pile so all his efforts weren’t wasted. It was one of the hardest hikes I’ve ever done. Mentally and physically. I, again, couldn’t bring myself to traverse over the top. It has so much exposure. So I went around. I desperately looked for an alternative and found one but it wasn’t easy. I traded frictional rock with exposure for loose terrain (talus, scree, pinecones, forest debris) which had me falling a lot. After the 1st 2 South Sisters I skirted below the cliffs on the NW side (after trying below the cliffs on the SE side).It was exhausting. After that it was even more tiring to route find, climb scary sections and find ways around obstacles without knowing the way or using a gps track. Harlan’s voice was in my head saying “there is always a way around a hard section”. I ascended North Sister and thought the final Sister (Black Sister) would be the easiest but No..." — paula.raimondi • Jun 2, 2018
"Climbed up the western slope from Mack's Canyon as part 1 of the Sisters. Traverse over to North Sister was a lot of tough, but fun route finding. Then over to Black Sister and back into Mack's Canyon." — vegasreo • Jul 15, 2017
"Hiked up Mack's Canyon & gained the ridge, then followed it around to the South Sister. From there, we traversed over to the North Sister & Black Sister before taking the Northwest ridge from Black Sister directly back to where we parked. Fun day & PERFECT weather!" — Kevin • May 31, 2013

"Went up from the Lee Canyon road, up ridge past baby dinosaur arch. The top was muddy & icy in addition to having lots of loose scree. I love South Sister, but this is not one of my favorite Spring Range peaks." — StudioHoodoo • Nov 6, 2010
