Up Up and...back down again


After months of prep, dodging bad weather, and coordinating schedules, Sean, Ben and Nick finally made the push to summit Mt. Hood. (super detailed page about the mountain here) I'd like to say we made record time, and were ready to face anything the mountain threw at us, but in reality we took forever and slept for 15 hours the next day. I passed out no less than 37 times on the ride home. Not a hard climb technically, but after no sleep and a hectic work week, my body wasn't quite as ready as I had hoped.

Conditions were amazing and we summited around 8:00 after getting a late start and slogging up in the dark next to ski lifts, while sno-cats buzzed us every so often. Our reward, (other than sulfer smells up until 10,000ft) was a fantastic view at the top of the entire valley, including Mt. Adams, Rainier, and a smokin' St. Helens. Well worth the trip.

Check out the adventure pics here.

Would you consider submitting a photo such as your Mt. Hood photo to my Photo of the Week listing? No prizes but the photos that have been submitted don't measure up to the quality of yours!
