Nonny Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 My friend and I will be climbing Mount hood May 12- 14. We have all the gear and both of us are in good climbing condition. Will be reaching Timberline lodge early morning on 12th. We haven't yet decided to do a single day climb or do a two day climb. Will decide after we get there. Â You can meet us at Climbers cave at the Timberline Lodge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is open 24/7 and it is where climbers get their wilderness permits etc. It is also a popular place for people to meed prior climb.  Last weekend the skiing was decent, But I have no idea about the dates you seek to go. It has been warm lately, so it might just be concrete and slush... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryland_moore Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 But skiing beats walking down the south side any day! Even if you don't want to ski from the summit, skin up to Crater Rock, ditch the skis and then ski all the way back down to your car.
