ontheedge Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Trip: Mt Hood - South side Date: 2/5/2012 Trip Report: Made it up to the summit with no qualms. Took the narrow chute to the right of the old chute. It looked pretty good lower down, but turned out to be a little more icy than expected. Pearly Gates was too icy apparently---an experienced climber retreated from it. Most people ascended the old chute that morning. A beautiful morning! Approach Notes: Needed crampons after Palmer.

rick johnson Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Hey Matt, Thats the route Dena and I did last August. I think we might have made the summit if we hadn't got involved with the 911 call about the skier who fell from Crater Rock. Funny I never saw a story on that one! I think me and Magnus will do a trip soon together, we have too many variables with a group. My main problem was I was tired but not that tired to summit. Ice was the big factor for us.
