Description

Experience the impressive Sandy Headwall on an incredible ice climbing trip to Mount Hood, Oregon. Located in the Cascade Range of the USA, this path is ideal for adventurous climbers looking to enjoy a stunning location. Come with me to conquer this incredible peak in the Northwest.

In order to reach Mount Hood’s peak, this particular path can be climbed by riding a snowcat up to 8.500 feet and then starting up towards the Illumination Saddle. We’ll then cross the Reid Glacier and climb over the lower part of Yocum Ridge. That will give us access to the Sandy Glacier. Then, we’ll head towards Queens Chair and climb several pitches while we reach for the summit. The views from up there are breathtaking.

We’ll head down through the South Side and end the trip at the Timberline Lodge.

Sandy Headwall is seldomly climbed and is quite strenuous, with deep snow and alpine ice conditions. This is why this trip is recommended for advanced climbers in a good physical condition looking to put their skills into practice.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Cami

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
