I've used only boot/showshoe to date, but I'm sorely tempted to try skis for the descent. I'm just a little worried about discovering a new crevasse on the way down!

If combination entries are permitted, I'd have to vote for the synergistic juxtaposistion of North Sister, Middle Sister, South Sister, and the nearby Three Finger Jack!

Thanks for the feedback. I should have been a bit more wordy in my initial post. I doubt that I'll even attempt a summit bid, which is usually an implied goal in climbing (and a safe assumption by the reader). I probably should have used the term "mucking about on" instead of "climing"! I'm mostly interested in staying in shape and experimenting with various alpine techniques. As always, the nature and scope of the climbing will be found in the intersection of my (rather lame) abilities and the objective conditions. The ultimate goal of each session is, of course, a Storm'n Norman burger back at the lodge.

I plan to spend a good deal of time climbing Mt. Hood this winter. Let me know if you're interested.
