>>1032070Adams. Non-technical all the way to the top. Hood doesn't have much technical demand, but the pearly gates does require you know what the fuck you're doing with crampons and an ice axe, and being able to self arrest is absolutely essential. tl;dr just below the summit of hood is a 45 degree chute that is full of retards roped up. One slips and their entire rope team falls. Beneath you is a big bergschrund that you can fall in.
Both are long days, though. If you don't have em, get some mountaineering boots used on
geartrade.com and get some crampons to go with em. I got some lasportiva nepals for $280 on geartrade and they're in great condition.
