I climbed Hood several years ago, and did a reprise last weekend, but we had to turn around due to one of the members of our group not feeling well enough when we got to the Hogsback.

I'm interested in doing it again this weekend, hopefully to the top this time. Plan: leave Portland around 9:30 p.m. on Friday night, start up a bit before midnight, take Pearly Gates to the top (assuming conditions look good), summit a bit after sunrise, head back down, drive home.

I've climbed Hood (via Old Chute, never Pearly Gates), Rainier, Shuksan, Shasta, and several other mountains (all with friends, but none of them are in town now). Looking for a fun, safe climbing partner.
