looking for a partner for Hood's DKH route on monday.. not finding any takers via the usual channels, so i'm posting here too, in the off chance there's a gun loving local climber who's up to the challenge
its sort of an obscure, forgotten route- from a T-line, South-Side approach, the route is a network of couloirs that run up the vertical face of the crater rim under the summit ledge. it's a technical climb, and a headwall climb, but its a couloir climb- so it's not nearly so exposed as it might sound.
anyone capable of any of the other south side variations should be able to at least follow on this route.. AI/MI climbing experience a big plus, but not necessarily mandatory- you just need to be competent at multi-pitch rope work and be otherwise capable of getting up the mountain.
i have all necessary technical gear, but an additional 60m twin rope would be useful. i have a set of loaner ice tools, but you'll need your own boots/pons/harness/personal gear.
this is not an appropriate first-time climb.
