There are plenty of ways to enjoy the beautiful Mount Hood peak (3,429m). And on this trip, we are offering an intensive and thorough 4 day climbing course that will not only help you reach the summit on the final day, but will also help refine the skills needed for future ascents.
Every day of this trip will be different and will involve the teaching of a different set of skills and techniques. A few examples of what will be covered during this course is a focus on steep snow climbing, anchoring and belaying, crevasse rescue and so much more.
Anybody who already has prior mountaineering experience knows how difficult and strenuous scaling mountains can be. And because of that, our focus is not just going to be on lecturing you, but showing you, and then allowing you to practice for yourself on Mount Hood. We believe this will be incredibly helpful as we can watch you and help you as you put what you have learned into action.
Finally, on the last day, we will make our way to the Mount Hood summit. Thus giving you the opportunity to test yourself, and test what you have learned. And when you reach the top of this great peak, you will be able to gaze out at the gorgeous Cascades mountain range. After that we will make our way back down.
If you want to learn the skills necessary to become a better mountaineer, this 4 day course is for you. And we can’t think of a better, more satisfying peak than Mount Hood. So if you want to join us, please send us a request. We look forward to seeing you.

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!

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.

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.
