Mt. Hood (Wy'east), West Crater Rim, Ski Climb!

Activity Notes

UPDATE: I am reopening this climb as it has been rescheduled twice, and the roster has had to change because of that. Feel free to apply if you have the skills in the description. I will probably take up to 2, maybe 3 additional folks. 

This is for AT skiers and splitboarders only. I would like to take no more than six total, including myself.

We'll skin up from Timberline (possibly with ski crampons, so have them) until we can't anymore, at which point we will boot up with boot crampons. This will likely be either at Devil's Kitchen, or at the top of Palmer. We may take the West Crater Rim route to avoid the crowds. We will then likely head up Old Chute to the summit, and back down the way we came (though a prusik rappel down Mazama Chute is possible), skiing one at a time down to Palmer, and then as a group within eyesight of each other on the groomers to the lot.

Any questions about whether you are qualified or not can either be emailed (dforestation@gmail.com), texted, or you can call me. (360)440-9830. 

If the weather and/or conditions don't cooperate, this can may get kicked down the road, since it has already been twice.
