brokenhalo Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 (edited) Trip: Mt Hood - South Side to Crater Rock Date: 2/14/2008 Trip Report: I went up just to Crater Rock. Variable conditions from hard pack to 4"-6"snow. Crater Rock at 7am, and approx 15-20mph winds, with a few gusts. Leeward SE slopes are wind loaded, but otherwise everything was pretty solid. Heavy snow on the Old Chute route, but pearly gates route possibly negotiable with anchors/(technical)? Good temps, and weather all around.

ivan Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 nice - seems like it's been forever since anyone's done a tr on climbing hood - guess the weather's just sucked - driving home from pdx tonight everything was beatiful on the mtn 'cept a giant lenticular above crater rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billbob Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hey thanks for the nice early morning pics, looks like somebody has the alpine start down. We need a guinea pig for the first run up that WCR slab, wait and see if there aren't a few volunteers this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerJ Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Ah to be up there and not at my desk today.... The weather has been so off this winter. Nice change of pace this weekend. I am looking forward to a lot of good turns this spring. -r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
