snowleopard_x Posted October 4, 2000 Share Posted October 4, 2000 Currently the only climbing to be found on Mt. Hood is alpine ice on the Eliot, Coe, and perhaps Newton Clark and Ladd Glaciers (Reid and Sandy unlikely and a haul to get to), with the Eliot being the most accessable and popular. The ice is currently in excellent shape, and the alpine ice season should last until the end of October, or until the first significant snowfall. No real routes to the top are advisable, though once things cement into place (like after a good icy spell and a cold snap) some routes can be taken to the summit. Intermediate and expert climbers only. The "regular" season for climbing to Hood's summit will begin in late winter/early spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
