Clearly the Hogsback is shifting to the left. The standard route on Mt. Hood is now "the old chute"

Hasn't voted | Can't believe how much the upper mountain has changed over the last year or so. Makes hood a little more exciting! | | Posted Jan 16, 2007 12:25 am |

Voted 10/10 | yes the gates are still used. They are just more technical now. 20' wall of 50 degree ice I believe in both gates. | | Posted Jan 16, 2007 12:44 am |
| | Zzyzx | Re: Nice shot | | Voted 10/10 | Sounds like a good way to finish totally non-technical walk-up. Do you think there would be solid ice even in the spring? | | Posted Jan 16, 2007 3:27 am |

Hasn't voted | Thanks!
I climbed through the gates on Sunday. I went climber's left (west gates)
It's a pretty steep and exposed treverse just to get to the gates!
Going through the gates isn't too bad except for a 6'to 8' section of near vertical water ice! If the truth be known it scared the hell out of me!
My guess is that it will be less of a technical climb in the spring. | | Posted Jan 16, 2007 5:22 pm |
