The Black Widow

[tom prigg]

Can anyone give me some beta to this route?

 

I couldn't find any info on a search in the forum.

 

Thanks.

Are you referring to the Black Spider?

[ivan]

There is a picture with lines drawn in on it floating around on this site somewhere.

Here's photos snagged from Wayne Wallace's website. Good luck on the climbing. Conditions are great up on the NE side, but might be windloaded slabs the more E you get. The Black Widow is its own climb that's on the far right of the topo.

Go Get It!

[tom prigg]

thank you for the beta.

 

It doesn't look like my trip is going to match with the season of this climb.

 

I am going the end of June. I would love to hit some of the ice on Hood. Is this possible for the end of June?

 

Do you have any other suggestions for that time?

[wayne]

Defnly NOT that route. Maybe something left on the Reid Headwall?---if still cold out

[ivan]

the end of june is generally a shitty time for climbing anything interesting on hood, sorry.

 

if you want somethign spicey and intersting on a volcano at that time, look to the n side of adams or rainier (may i recommend the ptarmigan ridge or liberty? both very cool)

[tom prigg]

Thanks for the info.

 

Liberty ridge is the other route after leaving Hood. I'll look into Adams and the Reid Headwall as well.

 

Thanks again.
