Route Climbed: East Slopes
I did the east slopes, then the class 4 ridge to Father Dyer (Would have been easier Class 3 off of the ridge top). From there I bagged Crystal Peak. Three 13ers in a day was brutal for my legs!

East Slopes to Father Dyer and Crystal
That's one steep slope! The scramble to Father Dyer was an absolute gem
Route Climbed: East Slopes Date Climbed: July 4, 2005
Climbed Mount Helen as the first section of a long loop including Father Dyer, Crystal, Pacific & Atlantic. Loved the scramble from Helen to Father Dyer! We finished with a traverse back east along Pacific's east ridge.
Route Climbed: East slopes with continuation to Father Dyer Date Climbed: September 18, 2004
Climbed Helen, Father Dyer and Crystal Peak on a beautiful Fall day. Helen's east slopes are simple and relentless. Ridge to Father Dyer is rugged and fun. Helen makes a great early season training climb.

Route Climbed: East Slopes Date Climbed: June 26, 2005Gorgeous day, and like any good summit experience, the winds picked up and snow fell on us! Would be a great slope to ski in the winter!
