Thinker Posted June 30, 2003 Posted June 30, 2003 This isn't getting any attention in the Oregon Cascades section so I'm cross posting it: I've got a bud coming in from the midwest for the Hood to Coast run in late August and he wants to climb Hood before the race. I'm thinking about it. From what I've read, the standard route usually has some pretty wicked rock fall that time of year. Just how bad is it? Do any other moderate routes avoid the rockfall? Any other concerns about late season climbing on Hood? Quote
jhamaker Posted June 30, 2003 Posted June 30, 2003 S route (Hogsback) yep, rockfall. Go durring a very cold night. You may have trouble w/ the bercherund that late. It is already 300 ft accross and 2-5 ft wide. No other routes are any better - most will be out of shape. You can always head over to St. Helens or Adams. Don't forget your wallet if you do. Quote
