Hello, I'm looking to re-attempt Mt. Hood via the south side old chute route 7/5-7/7, I'm flying into Portland on 7/4 and I can climb the mountain at any day. I am from the Northeast and I have a lot of winter hiking experience and crampons/ice axe travel experience, also took glacier travel and crevasse rescue courses. I plan on bringing an axe and an ice tool and 30m rope. Looking for a partner with similar or more experience to climb with, thank you!

Hey i may be interested. Shoot me an email @ gnarnpow@gmail.com

I was planning on heading up there last week but weather kept me in the High Sierra. I'm in California and I climb and ski in the High Sierra and in the Cascades on a regular basis. We can talk logistics, as I have gear you can use, which may save you some time and money.

email sent, thank you!

still looking, let me know if you are interested!

I'm really new to mountaineering, which means my conditioning isn't up to snuff yet. I just solo climbed Mt. Hood twice recently (once unsuccessfully and once to the summit) and Mt. Adams successfully last year. That's the extent of my experience. Here's my climb time for Hood: I hit the trailhead at 2am and reached the summit at 9:30am, so yeah, I'm a bit slower right now. That being said, I live in Salem and have weekends off and can hit the mountain with you if you don't find a more suitable partner. The last thing I want to do, though, is slow you down.
