Does anyone else find it odd that Kenneth Budlong chose the Cathedral Ridge route despite never having tried it before? As an experienced climber with 22 prior ascents on Mount Hood, it's puzzling why he’d switch things up this time. Cathedral Ridge is known to be a challenging route with unpredictable conditions. I wonder if he was seeking a new adventure or if something else prompted his choice. It makes me think about whether he had mentioned any specific reasons for this change to friends or family. If anyone knows more about his usual climbing habits or if he was planning something different that week, it could give us new insights. Just curious about the reasoning behind his decision!
