Time Estimation for Hood SS?

[jaydub624]

If I leave the lot at Timberline around 1:00am and go up the south side route of Hood, and move at a moderate but not breakneck pace, what is a rough timeframe to get up and back down?

I'm sure opinions vary, but I find about 1000ft/hour to be relatively reasonable. Slightly faster on the way down.

 

You should be down by noonish, depending on how long you take photos on top and how many folks you have to wait behind.

6 hours up/2-2.5 hours down - that's a pretty moderate pace.

Jay are you leaving on Sunday morning or Sat morning? I will be leaving T-line at 1AM Sunday morning.

 

I will be splitting.

I've got a party of 5 or so leaving at 11pm. With all the people, I don't want to be heading up the chute it while people are coming down. Looking at the weather; what alt will it be freezing at?

 

P.s. Don't touch the Sled of Death parked at the hogsback - that's my way down.
