Anyone have info on the crevasse,bershrund on the sunshine route at 10,500 feet, is it impassable

We just summited last week, we started at 1am and it took 6 hours. The snow was hard and we used crampons. crampons made the climb much easier as without, we were slipping and wasting energy so take them and use them. Also take an ice axe for the glissading down, it helps to brake , and you will need to brake. If you start the climb after the sun comes up, I see no reason to use crampons as the snow gets soft fast and you will be using up alot of energy if you are on the snow. There are numerous lines that include dirt and rock that you can use that you would not be wearing crampons on. Have Fun

Are you a photographer? You have said that you can only climb weekends. Could you start your weekend leaving on a thursay or a Friday?

what kind of climbing? Rock or glacier

I only climb on weekdays but if you are interested we can start to schedule a climb. Probably the 1st one would be North side of Hood next week if there is a clearing of weather for at least 3 days.call me at 503-888-2777

When I climb non of the climbers want to stop and take piks and when I take pictures non of the photographers want to climb. I hope this forum can help.When I climb to take piks it will usually involve 1-2 days more time than typical to climb the same route.Example: Mt Hood N side sunshine route, usually a 1 day affair. Start in the dark and finish in mid afternoon at cloud cap.To take piks of sunrise and sunset and climbing I would have to high camp on shoulder above Coe glacier 10,500'- summit and take piks going up and coming down and get sunsets from that day and sunrise the next morning and then pack up tripod and gear and head down. This is an example of course but is anyone else interested in taking the extra time to do both.
