benb Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Trip: Mt. Hood - Ramona Falls Date: 12/10/2009 Trip Report: How many of you have stood their and thought "I wonder if that freezes" I have been patently waiting for this to work our for ever. When I discovered the gate to the trailhead open and there was very little snow down that low, (3,400). It just worked out. I left the parking lot at 12:15 this morning. The hike in was uneventful. There are a bunch of trees over the river so crossing could be as scary as you wished. The trail had only a couple inches of snow in the deepest parts. I woke up to James and Trent WooHooing when they saw the falls frozen over. We got geared up to take a look. I liked the looks of the Right Chute and decided to give it a shot. I placed six screws used a tree anchor and tied off up top on a tree. James followed me up. We were so stoked. We rappelled down Rap Line leaving a top-rope for some more fun. I went up Rap Line on top-rope. James went up Main Line on TR. Trent climbed Rap Line, pulled some gear off the anchor, and we headed home. Such a Sweet Adventure Gear Notes: My pack was heavy!

EastKing Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Threr is no cooler feeling than going up a waterfall. Unfortunately I haven't done since moving from New Hampshire three years ago. Hopefully that will soon change. Great shots! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
