Mt. Hood Summit: Beautiful Start, BRUTAL Finish | Oregon's Toughest Climb

Join me on an unforgettable adventure to the summit of Mount Hood — Oregon’s tallest peak and a legendary Cascade volcano! What began as a stunning sunrise ascent soon turned into a high-stakes mountaineering challenge as we faced fierce whiteout conditions and a powerful storm near the top.

This video captures every gripping moment of our climb — from the predawn departure at Timberline Lodge, navigating through darkness, to tackling technical sections with nearly zero visibility. Witness the raw intensity, resilience, and ultimate triumph of reaching Mount Hood’s summit — even when the mountain hides its views.

What you'll see in this video:

• Breathtaking scenes of Mount Hood at dawn

• First-hand experience of climbing through a blizzard

• Essential alpine gear & techniques explained

• The mental and physical grit it takes to summit in harsh conditions

• A well-earned victory atop the peak — no views, but total triumph!

If you're passionate about mountaineering, alpine climbs, Oregon hiking, or stories of perseverance against the odds, this is the video for you!
