Hood - Elliot Headwall

by Burchey » Wed Jun 19, 2013 8:45 pm

Climbed this on June 16th - gate was locked at 3750 ft (hoped we would park at the Inn much higher)...had a nice long night up to the summit on the northside. Traversed low on the Elliot and had no issues with crevasses until above Snow Dome. Snowbridges below the headwall were pretty sketchy, and the ice took picks/pons really well, but won't be around much longer. Lots of evidence of rock shedding from the upper portions - rivers of small gray rock below the obvious gullies on the wall itself.
