I'm fairly new to the area and am looking for a partner or SMALL group to climb Mt Hood at the end of April or May. I'd prefer to do this on a weekday to avoid crowds. Although I have never climbed a glaciated peak, I have climbed a number of 14ers in CO as well as numerous remote alpine mountains in the winter. I'm pretty safety conscious, but I'm looking for person(s) who are more interested in having fun than turning this into a military drill. Of course, common sense is a must. I'm prepared to tackle this solo, but would prefer to share the experience. Let me know if you're interested. Cheers!
