Climb: Mt. Hood-Cripple's Route

 

Date of Climb: 11/10/2004

 

Trip Report:

looking for a little evening distraction last night so climbed the s side w/ my buddy chris coyle (his first ever ascent of a glaciated volcano). weather held until we got to 10k, then chased us all the way down the slopes. we saw the stars briefly. the snow fucking rocks! hard as iron so you can don crampons in the p-lot if you want (we waited till the top of the lift though). encountered a fantastic rock for bouldering on just a few hundred feet above the lot....lie-backy thing w/ a big inside crack.

 

feel funny. my 1st period class is walking in now and it seems like the second time i've seen them today.
