The Staff Health and Well ness Committee is sponsoring and organizing the climb. Don Paul Schula(Leaming Center), with the assistance of Chuck Adams(Director of Information and Planning) and Gary Nelson(Music Department) are acting as leaders and instructor consultants of the Mt. Hood climb. Schula, who also instructs a rafting course given here at the college, has been an avid moun tain climber for almost 20 years. “I personally like to climb moun tains for the view. That’s the bottom line,” says Schula. Adams and Nelson, also vet eran climbers, are preparing the predominantly first-time staff climbers with orientation classes discussing the equipment and safety tips about hypothermia and frost bite; preconditioning hikes at Multnomah Falls; and snow and ice practice.

Each participating climber has the individual responsibility of carrying crampons(traction devices that fit on boots), ropes and an ice axe. Adams, prior to his work at Clackamas Community College, has 32 years of volunteer service experience on a high altitude search and rescue training team. Gaty Nelson is said to be an “excellent climber” according to Adams. Nelson has the experi ence to back that statement up as he has climbed mountains through out Europe as well as America. The climb will begin around midnight, June 3, with snowcats taking groups of ten to the base of the Wilderness area at Timber line ski resort. By sunrise, the entire group is expected to reach the Hog’s Back, then reach the summit by 7:30-9:30 a.m. The descent towards Timberline Lodge should end at approximately 1 p.m. Schula explains “...we’re staff ing out so early in the morning because we want to climb while the ice is still hard to avoid the possible dangers of an avalanche.” He adds “This climb is not a race to the top, it is more of a personal growth experience and a chance forthe staff to get toknow -each other. What’s important about this climb is the process to the summit...as a team experience.” 13 82.14 -1.06 0.43 14 72.06 -1.19 0.28 15 62.15 -1.07 0.19 si " S F"
