hey, i would love a ride to ouray! i am in eugene and could meet you down in shasta city. What days are you doin sargeants?

great route, but right know getting up to it sucks. the snow on the elliot is so deeeeep, nothing has consolidated yet which makesthe hike all the way until you get to steep ground shittttty. you guys planning on heading up? let me know i'd be down for seein what its like.

wed? i am free, were are you located at? let me know i am already planning on climbing.

i am always down for a winter ascent but not anything on the muir side. somthing on the mowich face or a ridge route like liberty or ptmarigan. if you have a lot of experience with alpine climbing i would be down for climbing with you. i love winter ascents.

were do you live? i am in eugene adn would be down for anything.

i might be down. what kinds of routes are you down for?

were are you located at? i might be interested if i can get the time off work. I love Banff, great ice, nice bars and hot ski bunnies.

Bridwell has never done anything that great at higher altitudes! all of his climbs in alaska and south america were under 6000m. Not to say he isnt a badass son of a b#$%@. i have seen people smoking at over 6000m

hello, if you want to do some aid climbing hit me up! if we ever get a clear day i am always down. Maybe smith

nice job, was up there just after you guys, did the same route basically but finished straight on. definetely thin!

Ok, didnt mean to put this post up in the newbie forum! Done many routes and soloed things like the north face of hood several times, i was just wondering if anyone had any new ideas for hard patches of mixed terrain, where you might just want to rope up for a little bit. i usually just pass a clove or use a gri gri, so thanks everyone for all the help!

yeah were does that trail start at?

hello, i am down to climb any weekend. This week i already have plans for hood but, the weekend after thanksgiving we should climb somthing. i am in eugene too so it makes it pretty convenient.

the route will definetely be in i am heading up there my self. who ever made the does anybody climb the n.face or just talk about it, i have climbed it 3times this year! so yeah people are climbing it. The snow has been able to consolidate the last few days and there will be no more snow all week so that consolidation will keep happening. Plus the routes steep enough you dont have to worry about avi's too much not that it will be a problem by next weekend.

anyone seen what the north face on big 4 looks like yet?

obviously! but i am climbing without a partner!

i have just started to solo climbs and i am wondering what different types of techniques people use? i have soloed quite a bit on rock and i just use a gri gri, but is there an easier alpine soloing method? because when i have to rap and clean ice pitches it seems wrong?

heading up to hood again this weekend and wondering if anyone knows what the conditions are like on the north face? Ive been up there three times so far this year on the face but we have gotten so much new snow im wondering if how consolidated it wil be.

i was up there last weekend on the north face. definetely a post holing nightmare! but there is some great ice forming along the cooper spur and on the north face. we went up the middle of the face, and it was flufff. That was last weekend so i would expect that by know the cloud cap road has too much snow to even get up it, weather the gates are open or not. + avalanch conditions are pretty bad. We need some warm weather to consolidate all the new snow, then we the north face will be in Bad ASS shape. not that its not fun now. That was my second time on it this year and i loved it. Go to www.mangiantini.com and click on bob, laura and glens mt.hood trip and you can some of our pics from last weekend. nothing great but gives you and idea.

i wouldnt worry about the south side just down climb the spur. i was on the north face last weekend and will be doing it again tonight. I just down climb cooper spur its fast and easy. plus you dont have to shuttle cars

i might be heading up to the north cascades or possibly smith. were do you live? give me a call if you still need a partner. Bob Pool 541-301-4542

wanted to get up there but kinda curious to how the conditions on the route are. north mowich face?

was up there saturday night sunday morning, did the spur up a bit then traversed over onto the north face. conditions definetely sucked but the whole face (minus the two gullies) is climbable. i went solo so some of the spots were a lil sketchy because of the powdery snow. Its not bad though, just bring a lot of pickets if you want protection.

got this message a lil late but, next weekend i would be down for anything.

yeah i would love ride! im in eugene call me if you can swing by this way. 541-301-4542
