6 miles of hiking • 5250' elevation gain •
Southside up Hood with some new folk. I accidentally drove to Sandy the night before at 3am when there was a communication snafu about our departure time. That kind of sucked, I had to drive back home and then do the same thing the NEXT night.. oh joy! Anyways this was a great day up. Way later than normal, think I was on the summit sometime around 10:30am? Waited forever for one party member to get back to the hogsback. Overall nice snow conditions, tons of people out on the mountain.
