Cooper Spur

Andrew Nelson watches a storm pass over Mt. Hood the day before our climb of the Cooper Spur.



A view down the Cooper Spur. Many people fall while descending this route. We were subjected to ever increasing rockfall and ever softening snow as the day progressed. We opted to descend the South Side route and pay for a ride back to our car. Use caution when climbing and especially when descending this route.




The storm cleared during the night. We encountered this fantastic sunrise at "Tie in Rock".
