Hood North Face Sun Exposure?

[cbcbd]

Just wondering if anyone actually knew if in early season the N face's right gully gets any direct Sun. Being there in Feb it looked like only the top of it did and not for long.

I'm curious about late April, May, early June...

i've climbed the north face in april, i'd think may and certainly june (yikes!) would be pushing it but it's the temps that matter (and wind, as i found on my january trip) - don't go anywhere near those fucking gullies when the conditions are sending down shrapnel - you'll run like a little bitch, just liek me (unless you're deeply retarded )

 

i'm assuming you're looking at doing the n face gullies - if jus the cooper spur, then no worries and that can be done w/ little problem so long as its not too melted out (but usually into july)

Yep, looking at the right gully on the n face. I guess we might see how deeply retarded I might be
