markseker Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 (edited) Climb: Mt Hood-Leuthold Col Date of Climb: 2/25/2005 Trip Report: Jay and I did our first climb of this route, one week after climbing neighboring Reid Headwall. Route conditions like other posted TRs of this route. Only change would have been to start at 4am vs 6am to reduce the rock/ice pummelling we endured in the hourglass. Reached summit at 4:15pm, approx 10 hours after stepping on snow. Glissaded most of descent from crater rock for 12.5 hour round trip. Weather was ideal, cold ,CAVU, little wind anywhere. FL=6500; Here are 27 photos: http://members3.clubphoto.com/mark258190/3067985/ -anticlover Gear Notes: Used all of - 5 pickets 3 screws ice ax + "3rd tool" each 30M 8mm dry rope Powergel Edited March 7, 2005 by markseker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweatinoutliquor Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I think I chatted with you guys on the summit, I was the dude wearing the red jacket. Good TR and photos. I have similar shots of St. Helens with the smoke... Pretty awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
