Hi, I'm visiting Oregon from the east and looking to up Mt. Hood DKH or Pearly Gates while I'm out here. I'll be staying at Timberline all this week doing some skiing. I have climbing gear // alpine / ice tools -- though no rope with me. I should mention that I am fit and a steady hiker. I'm interested in meeting up with a party who can lead / knows the route. Weather doesn't seem to be in this weekend, but I am available all this week and ready to give it a shot anytime things start to look good.
