Trip: Mt. Hood - north face right gully

 

Date: 1/2/2013

 

Trip Report:

we climbed that north face right a couple of days ago.

 

approach was deep snow but lots of snowshoe and ski tracks helped out. sorry i walked in the track.

 

the cooper spur stone shelter is dug out, spacy and warm.

 

we traversed in across the north face to avoid postholing up the glacier,not sure if it was easier or not...

 

the snow was steep and deep and the ice was hard. i was glad i brought those BD guide pro gloves.

 

constant spindrift avalanches were extremely not fun.

 

tunnelling out the summit cornice was quite scary.
