Climbing Mt. Hood

I’ll be out of pocket for the next seven days or so. I still intend to update the blog, though not as frequently. Several guys are showing up from Texas and we are hoping to climb Mt. Hood. I’ve been worried about the weather, because we have had nothing but rain here for weeks, but it looks like the weather is going to break Friday and stay semi-clear through Monday and that means we will attempt to Summit. It’s a routine climb that a lot of people around here do, but your prayers would be appreciated. If the weather changes, or if too many climbers get bottle-necked at the top, we won’t be able to summit.

I’ll post pictures once the week’s adventures are done. Today will be my final training day. Me and the guys leading the climb will hike up to the top of the ski area. It would be boring but we have some bad weather to play with so that will make it seem exciting.

It will be harder for me to moderate comments while we are running around and in the mountains, but I will get to them whenever I am able.

Thanks and I’ll be back soon.

Best,

Don
