Mount Hood
Kananaskis, Alberta
June 24, 2001
The route for Mount Hood in Scrambles follows King Creek and then ascends the col between Hood and Mount Brock. On my first attempt, we climbed too high above King Creek looking for the sheep trail that Kane suggests. We ended up on a knoll between Mounts Brock and Blane. I returned a year later with Dale and Dinah, and this time we stuck to King Creek until we were below Hood-Brock Col before starting our ascent. This worked well, and we summited Mount Hood.
