Trip: Hood - Reid HW. brief report

Date: 5/5/2008

Trip Report:
Chad A, DonnV, and myself headed up Sunday night, bagged a few z's in the van and began around 2:45 am. Chad summed up the route conditions well:

Conditions were variable with mostly a breakable crust (annoying and time consuming) to occasional front pointing on super hard neve. The crust, though, was prevalent throughout. We didn't see any ice in the little gullies between the rock towers. There's a ton of snow on the upper mountain (surprised? prolly not...)
