always a pleasure to climb with you two. so much fun together. great memories!! and to think your first summit of Hood was only a few years ago. well done!
well done on 16 unique Hood lines! I still am hoping to do the Black Spider (Fric-Amos) sometime, conditions permitting. Basically the whole climb's aesthetics depend on "in" ice conditions.
Thank you, I too plan to climb on the Black Spider someday! But yes it is very conditions permitting from what I hear. I've got Yocum Ridge in my sights also, hopefully in the next year or two!!
You're criminally under-subbed!! East Coaster here but Volcanos are in my future and I had a few questions if you don't mind. 1. I've done some ice climbing but nothing similar to this type of travel. I've never lashed my tools to my person. I see Scott does, your gal doesn't, thoughts and what are they lashed to and how? 2. Are your crampons an ice climbing style or more glacier travel type? 3. Not counting a rope if you had one and anything ski related, what was your pack weight? 4. Also and excuse me 'cause I only down hill ski, but were you skinning up or using ski crampons? Thanks....new sub
Thanks! Yes I am working on growing the channel, but it seems like a slow process. Spread the videos though! 1. Leashing tools is kinda personal preference, some people prefer it, as I can reduce the risk of losing a tool in unforgiving terrain. Others argue that it's more dangerous in a fall situation as it's best to drop one tool and use just one for self arrest. But then your 2nd tool still connected could swing around and stab you. Personally, I prefer the increased mobility of no leashes, and I think most hardcore ice climbers often don't. I'm sure there are lots of other opinions out there on this topic! 2. The Crampons I used here have vertical front points, which are much better for ice climbing. But also work for the glacier. Ive ice climbed plenty in standard glacier crampons also, but the vertical front points are much nicer on the steep ice. 3. With everything (we did have rope but opted not to use it) pack weight was 45-50 lbs. With just basics I'm sure you could cut that down 10 lbs or so, but it was a very cold night so we had a lot of extra warm bedding, etc. 4. We use Apline Touring skis, with climbing skins. They are a different binding and boot set up from normal down hill skiing. Thanks for checking us out!!
Good question, I have several favorites so it's hard to pick, but my top 4 would be: Cathedral Ridge, Reid Headwall Left variation, Steel cliffs South face gullies, and Boy Scout Chute.
@@bt5294 it depends on the climbing. For this one we just climbed in our ski boots. They are actually pretty good for steep snow/ice. If there was significant rock climbing or scrambling I would recommend bringing an alternative though.

Take me to the top sometime!!
Haha, get in line! But seriously, climbing is such a joy (for me at least) find a way to make it happen!!

what’s your favorite route on hood?

Do you climb in your ski boots or bring separate boots?
