Access Issue: Trail/parking closure until fall 2027 Details

The beginning of the trailhead canyon trail and parking lot are closed until Fall 2027: fs.usda.gov/r04/humboldt-to…

The Hood and The Balcony can technically be accessed via the North Loop trail, though this would be a ludicrously long approach.

Access Issue: Partial closure due to flood damage Details

Severe flood damage in August of 2023 has caused closures on parts of the mountain.

Description

This section of climbing is often overlooked by most climbers, yet it hosts some of the best moderates at the Hood. It stays in the sun until 2pm (in the summer). It offers longer routes than those by the Infectious cave, and presents great top roping oppurtunities once to the anchors of Feel No Evil (5.10a).

Getting There

These routes are on the apron of rock that divides the Souls Cave and the Compton Cave.
