Reid Headwall from Illumination Rock

Recommended Posts

Can anyone give me an idea of how long it should take to climb from Illumination Rock to the Mt. Hood summit via the Reid Glacier Headwall under good conditions ( I will be there in early June, praying for good conditions)? Also, I have seen varying reports about the steepness of the route. Accounts vary from 45 degrees to 60+ degrees...what's the average? Grateful for any information. Thanks.

Would you consider Leutholds Couloir less objectively hazardous (i.e. rock and icefall) than the Reid Headwall?

slightly - the exposure is certainly worse on reids at any rate, should you take a spill and not stop yourself quickly
