Joatman Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) I'm going to be in PNW in late June to climb Rainier with RMI. If conditions are still good, I'd like to make an attempt on Hood also. Can anyone recommend someone to lead 2 climbers up Hood on June 30 or July 1? Rainier will be first experience on glacier travel for both of us, so we'll need a little help. Thanks!

DPS Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 That seems a bit late in the season for Hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YocumRidge Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 May - early June would be your best bet for the dog route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 really depends on weather and snowpack.. but yes, seems beyond the normal window. But last year people seemed to be having viable climbs (not getting showered in rime/rock sketch) way later than in '09, due to favorable Wx and significant late spring snows.

chubler Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Timberline Mountain Guides is your best bet: (541) 312-9242 Hood prior to Rainier would be a good conditioner and a better "earlier" season option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
