| YEM | An Empty Summit  Date Climbed: Feb 18, 2008 | |
| Old Crater Variation I broke my own rule. We arrived later than expected this year and didn't summit until 10. Many groups left before us due to ice fall which improved as the Sun warmed the upper slopes . Not what I expected. We enjoyed an empty summit on a perfect day. | |

| Karl Helser | Old chute Variation... Date Climbed: Feb 17, 2008 | |
| Early season conditions. The weather was perfect! Chunky loose ice from Palmer to Crater Rock turning to the soft stuff all the way to nearly the summit. The hogsback is way left again this year. The Pearly Gate chutes look technical and slow, so I think the Old Chute Variation will be the standard south side route for a while. We didn't use a rope, but I could have used a second tool. | |

| Not much to see with the bad weather. A couple of peeks of the sun offered a nice view here and there though. | |

| snowcdh | Climb and ride Date Climbed: Jan 15, 2008 | |
| South side climb on a rare 2 day clearing in weather. The hogsback transition mixed things up. Summited around 12 PM and snowboarded back down the south side all the way into government camp in one continueous ride (about 8000 ft elevation change). | |

| Nice hike. Maybe too late in the summer. Pearly Gates was a mess, so we went up the snow slope to the left. | |

| mkpatrick | South (Old Chute) Date Climbed: Jun 8, 2007 | |
| First true alpline summit. Left at 0230am and topped out around 0730. Beautiful day, one group left as we arrived. Had the summit to ourselves. Of note, for 5 of us, it was our first summit of Hood. Steve Boyer was kind enough to take us up and give us some history on the mountain point out were some of the more infamous accidents had occurred in the past. I think it was his 155th summit of Hood. Cheers to him. | |

| Climbed to top of hogs back and turned around. No protection and no partner for running belay. Looked pretty slick above the bergshrund. Gonna go back next year, fun mountain! | |

| Florida Frank | incredible winter ascent Date Climbed: Mar 15, 1981 | |
| Successfully climbed the Hogsback on our second attempt. The previous year we turned back at perhaps 9500 ft. due to a whiteout. This year we were blessed with blue skies and 100 mile visibility. Rainier seemed close enough to touch. | |

| ibndalight | South Spur Route Date Climbed: Aug 17, 2007 | |
| We climbed the south spur route late season and found the shrund unpassable so we lowered into it and did some ice climbing in and out of the shrund it was a lot of fun and a long day | |

| YEM | South Side Date Climbed: Jan 27, 2007 | |
| 6-2005, Pearly Gates 5-14-2006, Old Chute 1-27-2007, Old Crater Variation A mountain that is easy enough for a day trip, but interesting enough to climb more than once. Go early season and climb in the dark, or risk being on the evening news. I experienced rock and ice fall and I summited before 8am each time. | |
