Good work and sick pictures. Gonna need to pick myself up a small 1-2 man tent for things like this.

My dad did it years ago.  I would like to try it.

As many miles are you guys put on your feet scouting, I dont think you would have a problem.

Now if I could just find a partner.

I think Jackelopes going up again next month, and I'm going to be doing it soon hopefully myself. No set date yet.

I've never really looked into doing it.  How much gear does one need?

Congrats Jackelope! Is Mt Hood next? That hogsback stretch looks like you need to watch every step!

Most the stuff you can rent from REI. Crampons, Ice Axe, Tent, Jackelope says best bets to stay overnight to prevent altitude sickness, Which I probably agree with, Its what Ill be doing. Some rain paints for glissading. I hike with them up/down because I get hot and don't like many layers on my legs or I overheat, Then just basic gear, Trekking poles.. Atleast 3 liters of water.

Im sure he can chime in on this in on this in a bit to add to the list.


My problem on St Helens was I didn't take nearly enough water or food. I only had 2-3 liters of water and a few snacks.
Had to bum stuff off people like a bum, and melt tons of snow time after time.
I think going up I drank about 5 liters of water (Two full water blatters *2L each* and a few water bottles) and took in more calories then I do in 2 days normally.

This is back from almost a year ago,  I brought back to life an old thread...
But congrats still indeed, climbing a mountain is no easy feat don't care who you are.

So its probably out of the question to do as my naked quest?

Maybe not out of the question, eat like your obese and its the end of the world the night prior, then take a face full of snow every once n awhile so you stay hydrated. Gonna drop your core body temp alittle but Im sure you can cuddle with the campers at the 9500' mark

I'll wear my fuzzy hat.
