Intermediate Glacier Travel Field Trip - Mount Hood/South Side
Mountaineers Books, Gresham, Oregon, United States, 97080
Difficulty:
Basic Glacier Climb, Strenuous 1, Technical 2 Fairly strenuous climb to the Mount Hood summit. If we can get everyone on skis, we will travel on skis to the Devil's Kitchen and shift to roped crampon travel there. This can be a cold climb - bring adequate winter climbing clothing including a very warm puffy coat and at least 2 pairs of good gloves. The climb is done as a single push car to car and is strenuous. Be honest with yourself regarding your fitness. Not a couch to summit climb. Prepare for it. Meeting place and time: Right hand (overnight) parking lot not far from Timberline Lodge. We will get an alpine start at 0100. I like to arrive at 10PM and catch a few winks prior to starting the climb. This can be COLD. Make sure you have adequate warm winter gear. Route/Place: Mount Hood/South Side
Recommended Maps & Charts: Green Trails Mount Hood Climbing No. 462S USGS Mt Hood South, OR 2 Pickets with lanyard/cable/sling and carabiner attached. Harness and gear required for roped glacier travel and rescue. Flotation - skis preferable. We will decide if needed on site. Mountaineering or ski boots with crampons that fit them. Helping people explore, conserve, learn about, and enjoy the lands and waters of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. #J-18808-Ljbffr
