Mount Hood Summit: Old Chute Route (4K)

In late June, we climbed the standard, south side route of Mt Hood, up Old Chute. It was a stunningly beautiful night with the milky way shining bright and even a faint aurora glowing pink behind the mountain. Snow conditions were excellent for taking up some first time climbers. Most people were opting for the One O'clock variation as the Cat Walk was getting pretty spicy, but we sent it anyways. Overall it was a beautiful day on the mountain.
