Mt. Hood Climb: 18 June 2000
South Side Route
Brett Nipps of Bellvue, WA, on the summit of Mt. Hood. Some folks know Brett as "Smoker." Now you know why.

Brett is a very experienced climber who has summitted nearly every mountain of consequence in his native North Cascades, most of which by very challenging routes. Brett's main climbing partner is also his brother, Chris. Jeff H. and I thank Chris very much for letting us borrow his brother for the weekend. I learned a lot from Brett and really enjoyed his company on and off the mountain. Thanks for being there, Brett.
