chrisIW Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Hey, I just thought I would say hi. I am about to go on my first big climb on Apr. 2 on Mt. Hood. Getting ready. I am climbing with a guiding company, so I should get some good basics. Been doing alot of reading (Freedom of the Hills). Anyone else going to be at Mt. Hood April 1/2?

chrisIW Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 How are the conditions up on Southside? Any chance that I am going to see any cravasses up there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 There is only 1 crevasse on the S side of Hood, no worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 No worries as long as you don't slide into that one crevasse, or more properly, bergschrund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricardo_Montalban Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 there are other crevasses on the south side that people have fallen into. if you're too far to the east above the palmer snowfield, there may be a few near the edge of white river canyon. i believe the crevasses in this particular area are highly depended on the current snow pack and you should have no problem this year.
