Trip: Mt Hood - Right Ridge of Icefall / Boy Scouts Chute

Trip Date: 12/04/2020

Trip Report:

 

Climbed up the rime encrusted rocks on the right ridge of the Icefall / Boy Scouts Chute. Tool and foot placements were difficult since there was little consolidated snow or hard ice. Most of the ice was rime on large rocks. The lower part of the route was the most difficult.

Way to do something a little unique! I'm curious where you found these route names - I'm not familiar with them.

Thanks jiepj. I didn't know it was a known route until after the trip. The Mullee book has a green dashed line on page 81 showing the route but doesn't talk about it at all.
