Towering over Oregon’s largest city and the nearby Columbia River Gorge, stands Oregon's tallest mountain, Mt. Hood. This prominent peak challenges aspiring mountaineers to push their physical limits and realize their ambitions. It is often the first glaciated peak high-pointers attempt, due to it's proximity to civilization (yes, with proper training, you can climb it in a single day!) Our professional instructors will guide you on your mission to stand atop one of the most climbed mountains of the world.

Climb above the clouds and witness the beautiful landscape of the Pacific Northwest’s volcanoes with views of Mt. Adams, Mt. Saint Helens, and even Mt. Rainier.

Aspiring summiteers should be ready for a strenuous, 12 hour day of physical and mental challenges on the mountain’s classic South Side route. Grit, determination, and sound decision making are all important in a successful summit of this awe-inspiring volcano.

This climb has prerequisites. Please see the Walk in With tab below.
