Mount Hood, Oregon, 2 Day Guided Advanced Climb

Mount Hood (3,429m) is an extraordinary peak for a number of reasons, including its beauty and accessibility. However, another wonderful aspect of the peak is the varied ways from which you can climb it. As a result, while it is popular because of the relative ease you can reach the summit by way of the South side route, there are also other, far more challenging routes you can take to the top. And for the purpose of this 2 day journey, we will be taking those challenging routes. Thus giving you a thrilling, and difficult, but ultimately very satisfying climbing experience.

The selection of challenging spots on Mount Hood that you will be visiting on this trip include Leuthold’s Couloir, the Wy’East route and the West Crater Rim. All of those spots, along with several others, will test  your skills and push your abilities to their limits, and perhaps even further, until we reach the summit, where you can enjoy the fantastic views!

Due to the advanced level of this trip, it is important that participants have a great deal of prior mountaineering experience.
