Nice Tim. Thought I saw you all takin' off from Dutchmans th on Sat. afternoon. Fine pics.

Anyone see a problem with someone "guiding" a group on Mt. Hood who has no experience with the mountain? Aside from the impact of a large group, I think it is quite unwise to "lead" a climb on a route or peak one has not climbed.

Su weeet! Nice traverse and good pics! Tracks on the elliot .. very nice!

REI has wandered far from their roots. As a former employee (Master technician) at a large west coast REI I have seen from the inside what that organization is about. Thinking I had landed a career with an outstanding outdoors company when I was hired I quit a year later being unable to put up with the mentality of REI. I have been a member of "the co op" for 30+ years and have seen REI grow from being a store run by climbers, skiers and paddlers; experts in their field, to being another big box not any different than Gart's or GI Joes. It is to bad. They can not be changed I fear, from within nor without. Best to be avoided. Support your local specialty shops.

Yet another good tr and adventure tale Tim! Haven't been on Jeff in years, sounds like it may be worth lookin' at again. J. Park glacier yielded sweet turns from shrund on down last i was up there. Stil on for Tumalo? Let me know.
