scottgg Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Climb: Mt. Hood-Reid Headwall Date of Climb: 6/10/2006 Trip Report: I enjoyed this route, and our pictures turned out so nicely that I felt compelled to share them. Our original intent was to climb Lethould's Couloir, and I only brought my second tool as an after thought. But once we got to camp at Illumination Saddle we decided to try out the Reid Headwall. View Up From Camp Sunset Over the Reid The snow was good, and after several hundred feet we came to a 70degree snice step: At this point I took out our spare tool, led the pitch, then clipped it to the rope "zip line" style and sent it down to my sister. This section was followed by a mixed traverse, followed by steep snow to the summit ridge. A second tool was very helpful, as was a fun/motivated group Gear Notes: Two Screws(used) 2nd Tool Quote
RogerJ Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Sweet report! Did you actually climb on the 11th? We climbed the Reid on the 11th and those tents look mighty familiar. I was up at Illumination Saddle on the 17th and those routes (Leuthold and Reid HW) are looking less appealing. -r Quote
