Hood > on the weekend of June 2-3. We wondered if anyone on the list was > interested in coming along. I will be giving a classroom session, a field > session and the evening/ ascent. I have extensive experience in climbing. > If you don't have your gear, you can rent it. The climb is un sponsered. > This is an informal fun hike/climb. It doesn't take a super athlete to hike > for 4-5 hours, with lots of rest stops, up the south side of Hood. > > The glissade down the gentle south slope is the thrill of your life. > Hopefully our small group will have a life bonding experience sharing the > exposure and mountain sunrise! We'll climb/hike sensibility with all safety > precautions. For the summit pitch, we will use ice axe, crampons and a rope > for safety. We will practice on a slope prior to the final ascent to get > used to climbing techniques for the summit slope. On the descent, well take > a lesurely pace and stop at silcox hut for refreshments. > > Drop me an e- mail at <telescope@qwest.net> or call Bob @503-244-0078 > > Climb Safely, Bob M > > > > Bob McGown <ms112@qwest.net> > Astronomy, Science, Climbing. > > "I don't pretend to understand the universe--it's a great deal bigger than > I am." > --William > Allingham (1828-1889) |
