Mt Hood Summit video


As the title says this is a 30 second video clip of the view from the summit of Mt. Hood. It was about as perfect of a night/morning/day as we could get. It was warm enough to be wearing shorts and there was little to no wind. We started the climb around 12:30 a.m. and made the summit around 5:00 a.m., after taking our sweet time on the way up.

Going from right to left in the video you see 1.) Columbia River 2.) Mt. Adams 3.) Mt. Rainier 4.)Mt. St. Helens and 5.) Portland

The guy standing right next to me is the guide, Randy Sofich, and the other person is Sarah, who decided to tell us on the way up that she was scared of heights. Imagine climbing a mountain and being scared of heights. She made it though, so it wasn't so bad after all. Oh, and her best friend graduated from the U of A in '06 with a master's in environmental engineering!
