.....It was ludicrous for them not to wait until at least late spring......
Check your calender. Winter doesn't start for two weeks after their expedition. In fact, their trip is being accomplished in late Fall.

If you're only looking at a calendar you're correct, but in the "real" mountains west of the Mississippi the winter starts in September when the snow pack starts to build.

Check the wording in my post #12. I'm fully aware winter doesn't begin until December 21/22. Winter weather on Mt. Hood occurs long before the winter solstice. That is why I specifically stated "Winter weather season".
