David_Zeps Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Climb: Mt Hood-South side Date of Climb: 5/9/2006 Trip Report: The route up the south side is in great shape. We crossed the bergschrund directly up the middle of the hogsback, snow at 6 am was hard and stable but there was a separation of the upper and lower sides of the 'schrund that required a generous step-over. We protected the route above the bergschrund with a running belay using 5 pickets. The Pearly Gates were incredibly beautiful, covered with thick wind sculpted ice. Gear Notes: 5 pickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
