- On April 23rd, we headed back up Hood with our sights set on another new route. DKH V2, proved to be a relatively short yet decently spicy climb up to the top of the east crater wall. The route headed up to corner of the headwall on 40-50 degree snow with 2 steeper steps. The first one being water ice at 60-70 degrees, followed by a rimey step of 60-80 degrees. The route put you out right at the beginning of the crux of Wy'East route, an exposed traverse on 60 degree snow. Overall, we really enjoyed this route and got some nice late afternoon skiing in on the way down! Enjoy the video and stay tuned for more!

Super impressive dude. I’ve been watching you for a while and this seemed to be one of the more intense climbs. Great job showcasing our awesome state!
Thanks, it was a fun one! more challenging then I thought it was going to be
Looks like a high avalanche risk? No wrist straps on the ice axes? That's a no from me dog but you do you
Snow was solid, no Avy risk.
Nobody uses axe leashes anymore. Being attached to the axe is more dangerous than the potential of dropping them
