edmclen Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I'm looking for a partner or partners to attempt the south slope of Mount Hood or Jefferson sometime between Friday and Monday (8/17-8/20). I've only just gotten into mountaineering and don't have much experience (just Mt. Adams). I'm in good physical condition (i.e. I shouldn't slow you down), but I haven't done much mountaineering rope work. As a seven-year rock climber, though, I'm familiar with the basics and should learn quickly. Let me know if you're interested, and we'll meet up for coffee or a beer sometime this week.

DavidVO Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I'd love to do Mt. Hood, but already in mid-July the S Side route was considered done for this year - horribly melted out, very soft slippery snow, and a significant risk of rock fall: http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/703519/ People still did later attempts, but no surprise were disappointed: http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/708760/ For a safe and enjoyable trip, save Mt. Hood for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmclen Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 Thanks for the advice. What about Jefferson or North/Middle Sister? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
