Thank-you DPS. Sorry another question. I am taking a friend up the climb. I know how to use pickets. How long a rope should I bring. I have a small light 8mm 30m rope for glacier travel. Is that enough or should I bring the 60m for the top section past the bergschrund. I have read a lot of people don't rope up...we were going to. I guess long is that section is my question? Again thank-you for taking the time to answer my questions, Jamie

I am sorry I should have clarified, my question was for myself, which map do people use? I am also climbing Mt. Hood in late June. I can use a map and compass-waypoints. I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation for which map was better. As I said I was recommend "Green Trails #462S Mount Hood/Timberline Trail." map but on the Green Trails Web site their were two choices. (I might have typed the wrong info in which is possible.) Their was just a Mt. Hood map and a Timberline trail map. Which I know wraps around the mountain but does not go to the summit. I need a summit map. That has detail of different routes. Or is it pretty easy to determine where you are going? Thank-you Jamie

What map are you using? For Mt. Hood Hogsback? I was recommend "Green Trails #462S Mount Hood/Timberline Trail." When I went to the green trails site they had two Mt. Hood maps I was not sure which to buy.
