Mount Jefferson. Ultra, 2x CoHP. My favorite volcano so far (varied route). We had an epic and tons of great conversation. Uber choss. Terrible Traverse (in my opinion) as bad as reputed. Runout there is bad but not deadly unless you limp noodle. Summit block was a mixed route, 70 m practically made it to our anchor. Low 5th and great fun to lead. Not really much to place (unlikely to hold cam and a couple directionals on extra anchors lol). We rappeled off the summit as sunset. Two raps w/ 70 m got us back to the traverse terrain. Placed 4-5 Pickets that probably wouldn't have held a serious fall. My opinion as a soloist is that wasn't needed but group ascents are different so we gladly placed gear.

23 hours on the move (5am-4am) with a bit of sleep this AM as the sun rose as we got back to camp. Would've been "easier" to simply forego overnight gear.
