Mt Hood Conditioning June 6, 2009


I headed up Mt Hood June 6, 2009 via the south side route for a conditioning hike to the hogsback at about 10,600ft. I left the climbers registration area about 8 am. The Old chute route has changed in the last few weeks. the bergschrund is wide open (See above). Climbers are now opting to traverse from the low point on the hogsback (see picture below) and then ascend directly up the old chute. below the hogsback snow was soft. the old chute was icy, giving those trying to ski from the summit some troubles.
