Mt. Hood (Wy'east), Leuthold Couloir

Activity Notes

This is a tentative date. We will monitor the weather until we find a window that is favorable. I'll provide updates and confirm who can attend when we select a final climb day.

This climb is a step up from the standard south side route in fitness requirements, with a significantly prolonged ascent of 40 degrees (occasionally 45-50 degrees) through the couloir. An ice axe and second tool are required.  crevasse rescue certification is preferred.  Participants need to be in strong physical shape, have climbed the standard Mt. Hood (or equivalent) routes multiple times and have the appropriate gear and comfort for cold conditions and exposure.
