Splitboarding Mt Hood - Solo Summit

Standing around 11,240ft, the summit of Mt Hood is the highest point in Oregon. This blown-out stratovolcano is the 4th highest major peak of the US Cascade Range and is one of the most climbed glaciated mountains in the world.


This video documents late March 2021 conditions of the most popular climbing route, which extends from Timberline resort, up along Palmer's glacier, through the east side of the crater past Devil's Kitchen, straight up the Hogsback, and finally through the right hand chute of the Pearly Gates to the summit. From the summit, I cross the catwalk to the Old Chute to descend via snowboard.
