Mt Hood

South Side - Ice on the Pearly Gates

October 19, 2002

I took Jeff Manor up Mt Hood. Jeff had a nice vomit session next to the fumaroles. He stopped at the bergschrund because of horrendous rockfall, especially since he had no helmet. I climbed the Pearly Gates to the summit in stupid icy conditions. It was pretty cool climbing waterfall-style ice on Hood.
