Summer had withdrawn and autumn crept in, carrying a full
bag of tricks as the weather is concerned. Early snow had already fallen on the
Cascades as low as 4,000 feet, and I wanted to reach some jagged spires I had
studied during the summer while exploring the area near Table Rock. In late
October, Noia and I set out to explore the outcropping called Rooster Rock,
named by a prospector in the mid-1800s.
