OlegV Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Anyone wants to climb Hood’s NF this Sunday? Could be prime conditions for this route. The plan is to hike up the Cloud Cap Cabin Saturday night or to camp out on Elliot Glacier; early start on Sunday. If interested, send me a PM or post.

solfuego Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I just moved to the NW from Colorado and was planning to climb Mt. Baker this weekend (everyone bailed!). Anyway, I might be interested in doing this. Is the North Face a rock route or mixed? What is it rated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlegV Posted February 4, 2005 Author Share Posted February 4, 2005 Grade III, snow and ice. Nearly 2000' of sustained 45-55 degree slope. Two or three short pitches of 70 degree or less ice/snow. The route is long and commiting and good when frozen. A couple of people climbed it las week and said it was in super shape. Lets watch the weather on Saturday. Alternative easy route is Devil kitchen headwall (grade II). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
