layton Posted April 12, 2004 Posted April 12, 2004 Climb: Hood-South Side Crack o Noon Club HighEnergy Blitz Slog Date of Climb: 4/11/2004 Trip Report: 1st of all my shoulder is messed up from overuse, so this weekend had to be non shoulder stuff. so sat i went on a 7hr mtn bike ride and came home really tired so i missed my alarm this morning. Luckily I woke up at 10am. I decided to check out Mt. Hood since i never have even been up to Timerline Lodge or anything. The snow was a bit soft and was sorta kinda firm near the top. no ice or rockfall. I didn't need crampons, an ax, a helmet, a shirt, or pants(which i brought). Definately didn't need snowshoes or skiis(didn't bring). I got sunburned from not wearing a shirt. Then i went down the mtn to my car. lots of aerobic b.s. this weekend. hope i can climb again soon. Left Car: 12:30pm Top of Mt Hood: 3:00pm Back at Car: 3:40pm pretty good for my 1st time on hood, eh? Gear Notes: some type of footwear walkman water poles Approach Notes: snow Quote
hrothgar Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 Thoes cows were on their way up as we were skiing down in the AM. Some one needs to clean up behind them! Quote
bulldog Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 That's pretty cool how the cows got up there. And the chinese guy? SSSSWEEEEEEET!! Quote
Dustin_B Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 How did you get down so fast? I can't even ski down that fast and you said you didn't have skis. Were you at a full sprint the whole way or something? Nice work! Quote

Nice work! actually layton had skiis surgically implanted into his feet after he smushed 'em, so he had no need to mention them Quote
layton Posted April 13, 2004 Author Posted April 13, 2004 I sprinted the whole way down. I am paying for it cuz my pack cut into my neck and back pretty bad. showers hurt. I am gonna try and beat Dan's time somewhere over the next 3 years, unless someone climbs it faster...then forget it. Quote
crack_addict Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 speaking of s. side and speed, the other day while slogging up the cat trail i was thinking one could get some studded mtb tires and ride up in the right conditions. i wonder if it has ever been tried. Quote
layton Posted April 19, 2004 Author Posted April 19, 2004 i've been really busy w/school and shoulder rehab. did i really get 2nd fasted up/down hood? if so i'm gonna beat dan's record by the time i leave here. if not, i'm never doing the s.side again. christ it's fucking boring. Quote
Dustin_B Posted April 19, 2004 Posted April 19, 2004 (edited) I'd assume your second fastest time is just as official as -'s fastest tie (if not more official...) Refer to this thread for more info on - on Hood, etc Edited April 19, 2004 by Dustin_B Quote
