Calling all hikers with a yen for high, lonely places: you can bag that peak if you want to. Scrambling is the bridge between hiking and rock climbing. It involves off-trail travel-making your way over rough terrain and sometimes using your hands for balance and safety on nearly vertical rock-but does not require technical climbing gear. 75 Scrambles in Oregon will take you to some of the same summits that climbers enjoy-but by less extreme routes.

These scrambles (short, easy introductory routes and longer, more difficult scrambles) are generously spread across Oregon: the Cascades; Klamath Mountains (SW corner); East Cascades; the Wallowas, Elkhorns, and Blue Mountains (NE); the Strawberry Mountains near John Day; and remote desert ranges (SE corner). Routes are rated for difficulty and skill level. Where nonstandard equipment such as an ice axe, crampons, rope, or helmet are advised, that is noted route by route.

Barbara I. Bond is a trip leader for the Mazamas, an outdoor activities and conservation club. She is a professional writer and lives in Portland, Oregon. You can find Barbara on FACEBOOK, or you can visit her web site for more information at OregonScrambles.com.

Information Recommendation
What is a good cycling pace?
　　Back in the day, the benchmark for a decent club cyclist was always being able to ride 'evens' – averaging 20mph (32kph) on the club-run and breaking the hour for a 25-mile (40km) TT. 　　At a pro level, though, for example, Sam Laidlow’s record-breaking Kona ride in 2022 averaged 27.6mph (44.4kph). And the winner of 2023's fastest-ever Paris-Roubaix, Mathieu van...
Single-sided power meters: what are they, how do they work and what are their benefits
　　A single-sided power meter works by having stress gauges on one crank arm or pedal, transmitting this information to your head unit and then this data is simply doubled to produce an estimated figure of your overall power output in watts. 　　Single-sided power meters have made training and racing with power far more accessible and affordable. There are however plenty...
How fit do you have to be to do a triathlon?
　　Triathlon is one of the world’s most inclusive sports, with people of all levels of fitness taking part, but how much fitness do you actually need to take part in one? In simple terms, you must be able to tick off the duration of exercise to complete a triathlon distance. But you don’t need to go fast and you can...
Are gut bacteria the secret to qualifying for Kona?
　　This October, researchers from all over the world will be teaming up for a first-of-a-kind study on probiotics and the gut microbiome of triathletes at the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. 　　The highly competitive field combined with the gruelling conditions on the Pacific island of Hawaii will serve as the perfect venue for this project, which is being led...
How to take part in your first triathlon: all your questions answered
　　What’s a good time to aim for in my first sprint triathlon? 　　Nick: As it’s your first triathlon, it’s key not to put too much expectation on your performance. Aim to complete each discipline successfully, from the 750m swim to the 20km bike and 5km, while navigating effortlessly through transition and crossing the finish line having given everything. The time...
Benchmark your off-season fitness
　　Once you’re into the winter mode it’s important to get regular information on how things are going performance-wise. 　　Rarely does this data contradict what your training diary and intuitive hunch would already suggest, but it’s still good practice to get a measure of how unfit you are, how much you’ve progressed or how on track you are. Data either proves...
Can anyone take part in triathlons? What if I'm not very fit?
　　Anyone who’s not done a triathlon always says to me 'gosh you must be really fit!' But to be honest when I first started triathlon I was far from it, but I just wanted to give it a go. It’s true that anyone can do a triathlon and there are shorter distance races which are perfect for your first race....
What is TSS in cycling?
　　Before drilling into what Training Stress Score (TSS) is and how it relates to cycling, there are a few other metrics to understand. 　　FTP (functional threshold power) was defined as the maximum power that you could hold for 60 minutes. However it’s better viewed as your sustainable power so, for an untrained cyclist, it could be what they could manage...
The ultimate guide to your first triathlon
　　To minimise the risks of coming unstuck at your first triathlon, we’ve asked some top coaches to provide expert insights to take you through that first event, from the nail-biting build-up to the celebratory beverage after the race, whatever triathlon distance it is; super sprint, sprint, standard distance – or, for the crazies among you, something even longer. 　　How fit...
The triathlete's complete guide to heart-rate zone training
　　When people typically make their first foray into triathlon, motivation is high while fitness is low. It’s a combination that means large gains can be made in a relatively short period, which helps to embed the philosophy that hard work pays dividends. 　　But while it’s true to an extent, those who stick with endurance sport soon learn a harsh lesson:...
How to get your triathlon training back on track
　　The transition phase from winter to pre-season is when you should take some time out to check whether or not you're on target for your first race. Assess how much training you've done, measure how fast you can swim, bike and run, and jump onto the scales. 　　If you've trained as fully as possible, well done. If you haven't, don't...
How to pace your first sprint-distance triathlon
　　Your first triathlon is a high-speed puzzle that you’re trying to solve while swimming, biking and running. What you’re trying to figure out is how fast you can go without blowing up before the finish. But if you’re taking on your first sprint-distance event, your perfect pace is an unknown quantity. 　　The more you race, the more experience you’ll gain...
