pioneerian Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I'm looking for some fine folks out there to provide some details/beta on Hood's sunshine route. Looking to go in early May (if Rd to Cloud Cap is open) with one other experienced and a few newbs. Debating on bivying somewhere along the route to spend a little more time checking out the north side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diepj Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 What sort of beta? I think the route descriptions floating around are pretty good. Early May is a popular time and should be OK generally speaking. How is the fitness of your group? Its a long route (not as bad if you wait for the road) which may speak in favor of a bivy at snow dome. With Newbs consider a car shuttle and descend the south side rather than down climbing Cooper Spur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pioneerian Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Ha! Thanks bud. I got a "GPS guy" for a partner who wants to download the track. Fitness is good with the newbs. They're marathon folks but we'll be shuttling for sure, since two are fresh out of climb school (and I'm lazy...), besides I'm hoping to do Cooper Spur the next weekend anyway.
