letsroll Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 I was looking at solo NF of hood with skiis to carry over to summit and decend the cooper spur in poons till I can ski the spur with a safe runout. Will the skiis get in my way while going up NF or should I just leave them at the bottom ? Quote
cluck Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 Are you for real??? I would think that soloing the north face gullies with skis on your back would be quite a challenge. But then again, after thrutching off route on the Steel Cliff while lugging your skis, you probably know your limits better than I. Quote
Couloir Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 Hell, after you solo the NF, I would turn right around and ski down it! There are a couple of rock bands that if you hit just right will give you some seriously sweet air...1500-2000 feet easy! Quote
texplorer Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 With all the snow up there I doubt it would be that bad of a proposition. Reports from hood lately have said there is quite a bit of powder up high. Quote
rbw1966 Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Yes but trying to wrestle your way up either of the north face gullies with skis on your back might be more than a little sketchy. Quote
letsroll Posted February 25, 2005 Author Posted February 25, 2005 just thought I would ask. So Skiis are going to be left at the bottom. I don't mind packing the skiis on steep terrain as long as it is not a sketch fest. Quote
