Climbed Mt. Hood yesterday. Started at 11:40 pm on Friday, summitted at 6:00 am, down at the car by 9:30 am. Most of the climbing was done in the dark. Hood is a fucking zoo with casuals, but they all typically start well after midnight (1-2 am.) There was a huge line of hundreds of headlamps below us. Pearly gates was a super huge clusterfuck with idiots who had no prior experience trying to push their way down, not yielding to people coming up, fucking rope teams going up a 40 degree pitch, etc. Honestly amazed I didn't see someone get sucked into the Bergschrund.
