Mount Hood, Oregon #2

This photo gallery was from my second attempt made on July 12th, 2016 on which I attained the summit.

You will find my first failed attempt photo gallery here.

: This was the first photo of summit day, and features a brilliant alpine glow.

: A view down over the volcano crater in the lower center, from high on the Hogsback Ridge.

: Distant climbers on the Hogsback Ridge

: There were some very steep slopes on the way to the summit

: The clouds were very dramatic that day.

: Near the top of the Hoggsback.

: Danger looks on as two climbers work their way around a crevasse.

: This is the slope I fell on.

: Danger takes in the view

: That way lies the summit…

: There was weather below which I would encounter as I descended.

: My two new friends Aaron and Trinity who I met near the volcano craters mouth.

: Summit view to the West

: Mt Rainier is clearly visible in the distance.

: A very happy Danger stands on the summit of Mount Hood.

: A view coming back down the summit chute.

: Danger looks down the Hogsback.

: Glissading is a fun and fast way to descend a steep mountain.

: The mountain sent dense fog to keep me company on the final leg of the descent.
