Ascents in Mount Hood

ow. just don't.

Good holds but slightly pitched and sustained, fell after last clip

5.11b

super fun and safe! easy clean falls and well bolted, easier than the grade suggests?

got the beta.. now for the lead send.

I was lame and took at the crux but next time it's up into the left using the seam to get past the blank slab and it's all gravy after that

wowza it was pretty tough with some really delicate clips and a lot of route finding back and forth on the arete but better than advertised.

5.10c

SUCH a good route. the arete climbing is primo and chill, the moves around it are memorable

more fun with gear! #2 followed by #1 at the very top. didn't protect the middle run out as it felt secure.

Did without gear, yikes! I think you can probably get in a .75 or #1 at the top and nuts down lower and you certainly should aim to do so.

the roof jams if you get them right are great. fully extended .75 and #2 in the roof to protect the crux. bring all the .5's, I'm talking four if you've got them and lots of nuts and maybe don't step over the arete until you're even with the chains because fuuuck

redemption!!! easier than I remembered. "it's all there" -some asshole

much harder and less secure than expected at the roof which is definitely the crux. protection is good through the spicy bits though so not much to worry about.

eh, not terrible? #1,#2,. 75 at the top but the crack is about two moves long and easy.

harder today than normal for me.

the holds on the roof are tough but if you just pull up left and lock off to get the good holds above you can mount it pretty quickly

the crux was pretty tough with small feet and just rocking up to hope there are better holds above (surprise, there are). not so wet today just a whittle weepy
