I will be in Portland late April and wish to climb the South side of Mt. Hood around the 26th to 28th. I plan on camping above the Palmer lift the first night and completing the climb the following day. I have moderate experience, have taken a 4-day mountaineering class from ASI, and climbed Casaval Ridge on Mt. Shasta last January. If anyone is interested, leave a message or email me at smeek24@yahoo.com.
