Anyone up for Hood this President's weekend. I'm up for any day of the three-day weekend and just about any climb. SS, Reid, Leuthold, Wyeast, you name it. Just let me know.

want to go but just looked at NWAC site: stongly increasing avy danger Wednesday; are you guys still going? I have thur to mon open.

I'm thinking Saturday, Sunday, or Monday. With the possibility of higher temps, I might have to postpone until Monday, waiting for a possible cooling trend. Conditions are pretty mixed right now. New snow has landed on an older soft slab. Some atmospheric temperature increase could heat up the middle layer and create a semi-wet slab. So, I'll play it by ear.

majormajor, i might be up for something too. dependent on weather more than anything, though i asked a few friends about doing some non-climbing stuff and am waiting to hear back still.

i may be up there this weekend, avalanche forecast isnt looking too hot right now, though

[brandonmc]

I would be down for monday. If anyone wants to go. Only if conditions are good. Was down there on monday and it was beautiful bluebird skys. Would have been a sucessful summit but the getting down there was an epic with a flat tire and misc other issues. As it was made it to 10k and bailed.

P.s Major Major how is your leg doing from december on hood?

[Major Major]

Oh, thanks for asking about my leg. Much better. I'm ready for some climbing and I feel like I missed all of December and January. I'm chomping at the bit. It looks like avi danger is out of control today/tomorrow, so we'll see about Monday. The mountain temps will have to drop signficantly and the mountain will have to clean up a bit. I'm sure there are a lot of little slabs waiting to disconnect. So, I'm going to play it by ear.

[Major Major]

Hood is cancelled. Avi conditions are unreasonably high this weekend. Maybe I'll just build a fence instead.

MM,

Looks like I'm shooting for maybe the first weekend of April up Leuthold's. The Colchuck climb is delayed until either March 13-14 or 20-21 weekends. Stay tuned...
