Mt. Hood Summit 06/17/2013




A group of eight of us went up to Mt. Hood on Monday.  We left Timberline relatively early at 11PM.






We had a few other climber's up on the mountain including a group of Mazamas led by Amy, and a group of Catlin Gable students.

Me on highest point of Oregon elevation 11,240 ft.   It was rather windy, but we all made it too the summit.




We used some protection with Lisa laying down a couple picket's and we prussic down the rope from the Mazama Chute.  Here is Bridget coming down.





We just escaped a lenticular cloud, and I think Amy group had a bit of a white out coming down.





We had some fun glissading down.





Ahhh, Timberline Lodge a great site after a long day.  We ate lunch Ratskeller, I had a huge burger and an Ice Ax IPA.
