Mt. Hood (Wy'east) / Cooper Spur: grade III, moderate-to-high angle snow
This will be a single day climb the Cooper Spur route of Mt. Hood. We will start at the Tilly Jane trailhead and end at Timberline Lodge. This will require a car shuttle.
This climb requires...
- training with axe/crampons on low-to-moderate angle snow slopes
- self-arrest, and team rope travel skills
- moderate physical fitness, all-day energy
- moderate amount of snow climbing experience
If you're interested in participating in this climb up an iconic and classic route of Mt. Hood / Wy'east, please email me! If you're concerned about your skill readiness, I can provide additional training to shore up those skills and prepare you for this adventure.
-------------------------------------------------
As a note, when assembling climbers for a Mazama climb, I deliberately strive for a diverse, and balanced team. I principally take into consideration an individual's physical fitness, skill level for the route, and how they can contribute to the climb team’s diversity. Diversity consideration especially applies to the selection of the assistant and lead climber(s), to help expand the diversity in prospective Climb Leaders in the Mazamas.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
