Mt Hood Climb - a spring ascent via Hogsback and the Pearly gates

A mid spring ascent up Mt Hood via the south side. We started at Timberline Lodge (5800 ft) just before midnight and walked up on next the ski trail(near the ski lift). We then climbed about two miles to the top of the ski lift (8,600 ft) and headed towards Crater Rock staying to the left side of Devils Kitchen. Once past Crater Rock, we crossed Hogsback snow ridge, up to the bergshrund. We were able to cross a snow bridge. From there, we headed up the snow chutes to the summit, taking the gully between the rock towers (Pearly Gates). I think its worth repeating that the smell from the sulfor fumaroles are quite obnoxious. It bothered me the whole way and I felt it in the back of my throat by the time we descended.
