Frikadeller Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 are they hard? Yes. They tend to be the less climbed routes on that mountain for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrgo Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I believe Wayne Wallace's web page had a Black Spider topo on it. You probably won't get a lot of information due to how ephermal and seldom climbed these routes are. Also because it tends to take a lot of work to find the Spider in condition I doubt many people will want to give up their hard earned info.

Corduroy Man Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 Thanks guys don't really plan on going up the routes yet. Just wanted to look at them while I'm up there! Wayne Wallace sounds like a BAD ASS!!! I really like his website. Hope everyone hits it hard during the good weather! Rock on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What South Side are you going up? You cannot see the Black Spider from the south...or summit. To get a look you have to walk over to the Newton-Clark. And yes, the routes are real hard...usually unprotectable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billbob Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Wayne is working on the BS section in the forthcoming Mt Hood Climbers Guide, along with input from Kevin Russell, Steve Elder, and others. Anyone else who has climbed (rapping down in a storm doesn't count, TH) is welcome to contribute. We have close-ups of John Scurlock aerial photos with digital overlays (Tim Olson). Coming soon to a store near you sometime this summer... See my post in the Author Request Forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
