AT84 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Trip: Mount Hood - Pearly Gates Date: 1/25/2015 Trip Report: Being that this is a popular route, I figured I'd write up a trip report for anyone thinking of going up to hood the next few days looking for photos. We encountered warmer than average temps this weekend with some notable ice fall coming mainly from the steel cliffs. After waiting for the sun to come up in a moat we made a quick push to the summit via pearly gates. The bergshrund was easily crossed. We climbed the right gully which seemed more mellow then in the past but still requiring 2 tools. Given the warm weather and the increasing ice falling, we rapped the gully with a 60m and a picket. Saw someone slip and slide all the way down the slope coming out of the gates but walked away uninjured, hope you're okay! Glissaded most of the way back to timberline just in time for lunch Gear Notes: Aloha Shirts Edited January 27, 2015 by AT84 Quote
