    [TR] Mt. Hood- Norht Face Couloir 10/17/2005

    Yeah I agree with both Nolse and michael, snow snow snow!! Hey cant complain!! Maybe next week?? Or sunday? Who knows?? You can never trust the weatherman. Keep an eye on the cloud cap road?? If they get a bunch of snow you will have to hike in a little farther, could at some time to your trip, but it would still be woth it!!

    which ice screws?

    Get two of each, they each have pros and cons. mix it up!! Nolse did show me his Grivels and they were nice, I use BD's because I got them cheep...Remember its not about the tools or the screws it is about how good the climber is that is using the equipment. Become efficiant with the gear you have.

    Climb: Mt. Hood-Norht Face Couloir

     

    Date of Climb: 10/17/2005

     

    Trip Report:

    Started at Cloud Cap at Midnight (Sat. 16 of October) and headed up to the North Face. We got on the route an hour or so after the sun came up. The first ice pitch was a little sketchy with a dicey left hand traverse, but the pro was solid. The after the second ice pitch weather came in and the sun went away, thus dropping the temp. We reached the summit right an hour before dark and descended the south side. The entire route took us 22.5 hours from the North to the South side. All in all it was a good climb; the ice is sketchy thin in a lot of places which made it hard to place any pro, thus allowed us to climb faster. I would not recommend this route until the temp drops a little and more solid ice forms. A full trip report will be posted in the next couple of day!! Stay tuned. Pics are also on the way!!

     

    Gear Notes:

    8 or so ice screws

    Pickets

    Extra Gloves

    Lots of food

    A strong desire to make it to the top before it gets dark.

     

    Approach Notes:

    great approch from cloud cap. Watch for open crevases.
