Thank you for your response. Did you rope-up on Hood? When you say a one day climb, is this with a start at the standard trailhead, which I believe begins at 5000 ft or so? I read somewhere about a kind of ski lift, which takes one up higher, to 8500 ft, but this doesn't interest me. I am wondering, though, at which elevation you began. Best, James

NEKiwi, I would like to hear what the current conditions are like. I am thinking of driving up there in a week from here in Chico, CA. With a friend. We summited Mt. Shasta together last summer. If anyone on here has summited Shasta and Hood, I'd like to hear how Hood rates in comparison of difficulty of climb to Shasta. Thank you for providing this forum. All best, J
