No problem. Can you be a little more specific about what is required to make this a route description because there is no active link for this route on the Mt. Hood "home page"? This is sort of a work in progress and I can certainly add more details.
Maybe it's just the voice; the use of past tense makes it sound more like a story than a route description, especially in the opening. But I guess that's subjective.
I see you've added more detail already, and the page looks much better. To be a good route page, I think it needs a section on directions for getting to the start of the route itself. Some go buy this rule: if I can print it out, get in the car, and go just using the page, it's a good one.
That makes sense. I decided just to make the page into a trip report, hence the passive voice. I looked at some other route descriptions and they helped. It is too far gone to be a route description. Could I create a route description based upon the same photos?
Thanks for posting! Only trip report I could find on Cathedral Ridge approach. I was on the ridge late Sept 2010 and hiked to 6800 ft. It sure seemed like an easily doable climb... and was wondering if others climb it.

Re: Thanks!Certainly. And I think it would be a good one. By the way, I like the narrative in the opening. Nice imagery and tone.

Is the date of your trip correct?

Re: Climbed to lookThanks for spotting that. No idea why it was December. It was in early September. 6800 is the hut right?
