Hood - Mazama Chute

Attempted to locate access to the Pearly Gates in the dark, but people ahead of us were clogging things up. And it was damn cold. Ended up traversing under the cliffs to the Old Chute, then exiting off a right gully. Glissaded down the Palmer lifts!

Nice work! No fun running into bottlenecks in the freezing cold.
