Mt. Hood N. Face

[chimbo]

Looking to climb the N. Face of Hood next weekend (Dec. 19th and 20th) on my way up to WA. I'll be arriving in Portland Friday night and am up to leave for the TH on Friday night or Sat. morning.

 

I have one 50m half rope, 6 screws, 1 picket, good 2 person tent, good stove.

 

I'd be happy to take the crux pitches but I am looking for someone that has experience.

 

Contact me at tlappetito@gmail.com to go over more details.

If I wasn't having knee surgery on Monday I'd be there for sure. Good luck.

Good luck with the recovery. Let me know if you have any friends looking to get out this weekend.

 

This climb on Illumination Rock also looks good: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=925492

Weather is obviously not cooperating, and although this post wasn't exactly blowing up, felt it would be good to acknowledge that I'll have to wait to give this one a try.

t'was hoping to do the same but Hood is bad weather/conditions (and juju) right now. would love to get on some waterfall ice in WA this winter, in addition to N. Ridge of Baker, N. Face of Shuksan, Liberty Ridge on Rainier. would need pretty good weather windows for each of those, but like to ski in and climb fast. any weather windows Feb thru May, i'm on it and will be looking for partners. let me know if anyone's interested in any of the above.
