Eric hiked Mt Hood on Friday night/Saturday morning with Evan, Ryan (friends from high school) and Evan's uncle Steve.
They started at midnight so the snow is harder and there are less people. Here they are after putting on crampons.
Sunrise.
This is halfway up the "hogsback", you can see steam on the right from the fumaroles and the parking lot on the far left of Timberline ski resort where they started.
Posing at the top looking northward. Mt St. Helens is to the left of Eric, Rainier nearest his axe and Mt Adams to the right.
Going back down. There was a couple feet of new powder so it was slow going, especially up. Overall a fantastic climb with perfect weather.
