Nat, Steve and I are bailing on a climb of Mt Hood that we were starting tonight. The weather looks bad through tomorrow; cloudy and cruddy. Rain and snow through Wednesday morning. Then the sky clears up tomorrow, but the mercury goes high. The Northwest Avalanche Center has projected avalanche danger above 7000 feet (Mt Hood's summit sits at 11,2237 feet) from Thursday through the end of the weekend. And maybe longer. Potential big wet spring snow slides. Avalanches that can loose the entire winter's snowpack in one go.
So it looks like we are going to stay home for the next few days instead of burning a vacation day for no summit and no fun.
