Mt. Hood, Sandy Glacier Headwall

Activity Notes

Please update your profile with the relevant experience as requested below:

1) Participants should know how to use a beacon, shovel and a probe

2) Participants should be in excellent physical shape (1.5 hours or faster to the top of palmer with a 25 lb or heavier pack)

3) Should have climbed Mt Hood in the winter, and have experience climbing water ice. Should have followed and cleaned an ice route, and have experience racking ice screws.

The dates are tentative and might change based on the weather. I will be looking at the next available weather window and will reach out to the potential team over email.

I am ok with everyone carrying skis/splitboard, but non skiers with the above requirements are welcome to join. I might make this a 2 day climb.

 As of January 1, 2024. All climbers above 9,500' in the Mt. Hood National Forest are required to carry a permit. As a Mazama member, if you are accepted onto this climb, your permit will be included with your registration. You will not need to arrange for your own climbing permit. Please review our refund policy carefully before registering for any activity.
