Z-Man Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Trip: Illumination Rock - SW Ridge Date: 1/17/2008 Trip Report: This was a spectacular day when it was snowing in Portland, but well above freezing above the clouds. Climbing the disintegrating rime that Hood seems to be choked with is great practice that makes other less-than-secure climbing seem much nicer.

wayne Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Nice,did you start from the toe of the ridge, You may have done the East ridge of the South Chamber? Or go to the summit? Is that Nate in the photos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Man Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 That's Nate back when I could almost keep up. The East Ridge of the South Chamber sounds like a more accurate description, basically the left skyline in the first photo, the ridge to climber's right of the South Chamber. I was using the nomenclature someone else clued me into. Nate actually wanted to give March Madness a go, but it was pretty warm for that kind of thing.
