jclark856 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I'm going to be in Oregon for business. I have a free window for climbing between August 3 and August 9. Am I too late for Hood? Suggestions? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_a Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 If you're looking for a scenic slog to do, the south side of Adams would be a far safer place to go and only an hour or so more driving to get to. just a suggestion. I'd think most would consider August (especially this year with the low snowpack) to be too late...if you go, start very early-around midnight- and definitely wear a helmet.

Alpine_Tom Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I was up there in late July two years ago, and the "pearly gates" were horribly scary -- chunks of rocks the size of engine blocks were crashing down there, with virtually no warning; there was bare water ice you had to cross. Chose Adams -- you'll be happier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
