Activity Notes

Queerzamas climb: this climb is a queer affinity space climb, where all participants and leaders self-identify as part of the queer community. Please send me a quick email message to apply.

NOTE: This is a last minute schedule climb, based on weather window. It may shift forward or back by a day or two, so flexible schedule is important.

Mt. Hood (Wy'east), Wy'east route (grade II+, steep snow, glacier terrain)

Team of 4-6.

This route is more technically challenging than the south side routes of Mt. Hood-- probably not a good option for your first time up Hood. Minimum skills requirements are solid and practiced BCEP skills: basic snow skills including crampons/axe, quick belays, and rappel.
