Commonly done during the Basic Climbing Education Program (BCEP), this hike is a good conditioner for climbing Mt. Hood as well as practicing rope team travel and crampon techniques.

Activity Notes

Summit conditioning snowshoe from Timberline Lodge to Palmer ski lift.

This will be a great opportunity to test out your mountaineering boots, snowshoes, spikes and possibly even crampons to get you amped to summit Mt. Hood someday.

We have snow! Friday will be cold and hopefully only a little cloudy. It will likely be windy at Palmer - please dress warmly!

As of 12/23 the forecast is improving and looking more and more like a great day to be on the mountain this Friday.
