rockrat16 Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 Hey all! I'm looking for any recent info on Hood. I'm planning on doing a west side route this weekend. Has anyone been on any route recently? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
none_dup1 Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 Dude: There's a good chance they'll be snow on the route. Take skis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
To_The_Top Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 I went there last weekend, and the west route had a 4mile hike in snow on the road to Climbers bivouc, then Monitor ridge, which several people did. Worm flows (we did) had many people on it, and 2 parties were on the ridge east of Worm flows. Check (www.fs.fed.us.?gpnf/mshnvm/climbing) for conditions (sorry I don't know how to attach the website here). Mr Goodtime is right, the best way out is on skis.

erik Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 hmm, sounds like mt hood and mt st helens have switched locations. i remember side routes on hood being sandy headwall, leuthold and yocum ridge. maybe things have changed since i was last up there. but do bring skis and becareful of the glaciers. low snow fall!

airmoss Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 Check out http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/mthood/climb_up.htm for current climbing conditions on Hood. There is a climbers trail groomed to about 8000' so if you get an alpine start, I don't see a need for skis. From everything I have heard so far conditions should be sweet this weekend. I plan on being at the base of the Leuthold about 5am on Monday. -Be Safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
