John: I think the challenge of climbing Mt. Hood should require a certain level of comfort and experience climbing on steep snow with exposure at a minimum. The surface on those sections can vary from soft snow to hard alpine ice, depending on the conditions. This last portion has some steep sections above fumaroles (volcanic steam vents), where the consequence of a fall can be fatal. Climbing Mt Hood via the standard South Side Route (easiest route) is mostly just a long walk with a lot of elevation gain, with the exception of the final 1,000 feet or so. Max: This is a product of one’s experience, current fitness level, the conditions, and the route choice. By the end of your read you can determine whether you will go solo or hire John for a successful summit. Hood and give you the confidence you need to make the climb. I interviewed Max and John to get their tips for the perfect guide to climbing Mt. Since then, he has made 20 total climbs and is the first person I’d turn to as a guide for a technical climb of Mt.
John, who is an instructor and guide for Kaf Adventures, first successfully summited Mt. Max is Fit For Trips’ very own outdoor consultant and has climbed Mt. Max Krieger and John Barkhausen are two experienced climbers and are the perfect outdoor experts to provide information about successfully climbing Mt Hood.
