With a Mazama group, I did my first attempt at a Mount Hood summit! I got almost to the top, but couldn't quite all the way up the 45ish degree ice slope of the Old Chute right before the top. A little sad to not reach the summit when everyone else did, but I'm also not dead so it evens out. I'll summit next time. We started at 9 pm Thursday, hiked all night in the dark, except for snowcats grooming the ski area, with the moon and stars illuminating a very clear night. It was amazing.
