This upcoming weekend is my last in Oregon, and I'd love to get a last summit in before I head back to the pint-sized Appalachians in North Carolina. Most of my climbing experience is rock climbing, but I know the mountaineering basics and am in good aerobic condition. What do you think? - Ed

Thanks for the advice. What about Jefferson or North/Middle Sister?

I'm looking for a partner or partners to attempt the south slope of Mount Hood or Jefferson sometime between Friday and Monday (8/17-8/20). I've only just gotten into mountaineering and don't have much experience (just Mt. Adams). I'm in good physical condition (i.e. I shouldn't slow you down), but I haven't done much mountaineering rope work. As a seven-year rock climber, though, I'm familiar with the basics and should learn quickly. Let me know if you're interested, and we'll meet up for coffee or a beer sometime this week.
