On the picnic tables. Good luck.

Phenomenal.

Would appreciate any photos you have Dylan! Heading up there on Thursday night summit by 7 ish. Approach/Route? Cheers!

Beware the crevasse on the south side!

i drive over the pass quite often. it got a frosting up there last week but i expect it to be melted out by now. it was clear of rime before that from what i could see from the highway. the ridge is in pretty nice shape but will be exposed from snow soon if it isn't already.

Thank for the beta! Hoping to get up there this weekend

Looking nice!! Great photos! Pic to point out where Tie In Rock is at: http://images.summitpost.org/medium/209098.jpg

For anyone who is looking to climb Jefferson soonish.... Here is where the snow becomes too deep to drive through (at least in my car) from this point it is 1.25 miles and 300 feet elevation to get to the TH. Can't say for sure but I'd put it at another week or two of warm temperatures and rain and the snow should be melted out to the TH parking lot.

That's a nice photo! And dang you've been up there a few times this year.... Wish I lived closer to Hood

Nice job Ben!

A friend of mine just shot these pics of the South and South East sides of Mt Hood this evening.

Great TR!

Want to climb the Picnic Lunch wall! .......... HAHA

Steve Koslow's ice axe from the first winter ascent of Mt. Logan. Just found out my classmate's dad was an accomplished mountaineer!

Aptly named! Congrats and thanks for the beta!

I would say to get the green trails map of the area. You probably know that its the most inaccessible major peak in the US cascades. I think I saw a trip report done on the Teton Gravity forums. 18 miles of approach =)

dunno - i like to be lost and so never seem to have a guidebook - thought that was the tombstone crack that abraxas went to at the end of p3? we rapped where there was a good anchor and everythign above was chossy easiness to the false summit, from which you look to do a rope-lenght of traversing, then some down and back up to the true top. i'll be back soon enough i bet, fucking beaconben is drawn to this thing like flies 2 shit! Sounds like you made the tombstone crack. Heard its something amazing. I've hiked up the backside and to the true summit a while ago but will be making it via Abraxas one of these days with some Germans. Couldn't find the top anchor but I have a feeling I was close.

Ivan - sounds like you found yourself all the way up Abraxas but didn't hit the Tombstone Wall. Is that right? Great TR('s)! Gotta love the gas every 30 seconds like you said. I know about this too and it never seems to happen unless I'm up some mountain in a tent with others freezing my butt off. TA

That was incredible!!

I was pretty close to it this summer? What do you need to know?

It sure is, Ivan! Check this out...

I did this exact trip Labor Day weekend..... 3 nights.... I took 5 others with me and told them it was 35 miles so they wouldn't freak out. We did it in the opposite direction. You're nuts though. Getting all that done in 13 hours is hard for me to imagine! Absolute ballsy. Hats off

Thanks for the photos, Holk.
