Rough day on Hood. Condolences to the fallen climber's family. Sounds like the rock/icefall conditions were horrible to be up on a mountain.

"You had ice axes and crampons and you couldn’t get secure foot in your holds," Wyatt Peck, 26, of Portland, said, adding that there was a layer upon layer of ice, making holds difficult. "If you were to slip and fall, you couldn't dig your axe in and stop yourself," he said.
"This is the worst climbing day I’ve experienced for sure, condition wise," Peck said.
