Funny reading this. When I got into mountaineering I took a weeklong course on the north side of Hood through TMG and Bob Lehman was one of the guides. I remember him talking about the broken leg story too. Good guy, he lived in Terrebonne and I think I remember him saying he and his wife raised beagles or something.
Spring of 2001 had to be one of the more windier ones here too. I was up there a month after you were and we were hit with about 70 mph winds where it kept the rope horizontal in the wind.

Great storyFrom another southerner who's been up Hood, although my experience was much easier.
Sounds like you learned a lot...

?Did you put the tents down when you ascended? Also, what happened to the climber who opted not to descend with the group?

Re: ?The tents were guided out and behind fair size snow blocks, didn't help. The clips broke.
Never heard about the guy up top on the news, I assume he made it back...
