Excellent video. Thanks for posting.

This is awesome. Was just watching summiting videos of Mount Hood and wondering what I need to do it. I'm already out hiking and backpacking but planning to do this next!

[@swdaters]

This is a great video. Thank you for posting!

Wonderful video, KZbin recommendations actually working.

This is the most even-keeled good, cool, helpful, 90s kid ever. I hope he’s just as cool in real life.

Great video! Hope to do Hood soon. I've done Rainier, and several technical climbs in the Sierras (I'm in California), but I absolutely would only do Hood with professional guides when I come up there.

I climbed hood by myself last month as my first summit

[@Greg_call]

[@futurebalance6134]

Would either crampons fit a solomon dialog snowboard boot size 9?

[@johnmeye]

Very well done!

[@joshreman2733]

I do it in the summer time for get the winter time

[@MattCookOregon]

Epic!

[@SecondSunofficial]

What about summiting in the summertime when theres almost no snow?

[@LinusWilson]

It is not the 2nd most climbed mountain in the world. It is not even the second most climbed glaciated peak (kili is more popular and has glaciers).

Don’t buy from next adventure. They don’t stand behind their products, they just want your money.

We're sorry you feel this way Hunter. Please write [e-mail] if we can help you further.

[@MGoat76]

Not impressed. You didn’t stress the importance of mastering fundamental skills such as self arrest, self belay, avalanche awareness, navigation, etc. No mention of objective hazards such as rock fall, snow bridges, and avalanche. No mention of registration or what to do if there is an accident. No mention of the importance of going with an experienced partner with good judgement. No mention of the importance of telling someone where you are going, when you will return, and what to do if you are overdue. Overall I feel this gives a false sense of security and may even be a disservice to beginning climbers by omitting such important topics and oversimplifying the climb. Please focus more on safety if you’re going to do videos like this.

If you've watched Bear Grylls you are ready

[@MattCookOregon]

@@Nattraks I have seen every episode from Blues Clues. Can I go?

[@2199SPUDMAN]

Absolutely agree 100%. I'd recommend joining the Mazamas and taking their basic mountaineering course as preparation. They cover all the techniques, gear, and above all else the safety needed when climbing. Plus, you get multiple conditioning hikes with increasing elevation gain and duration each week plus hands-on training with belaying, top-roping, and basic self-arrest techniques. Best $250 I ever spent, but that was 20 years ago :-) Naively attempting Mt. Hood with little or no preparation is a sure way to put your life in real jeopardy -- have fun but take it seriously.

[@navnitsingh2060]

I’m a girl in real life and this is good because if you climb Mt Hood you have to have the write shoes 👞 for it if you don’t you slide down

[@MOUNTAINOUS]

anyone that dont know this stuff.....shouldnt be climbing hood.

[@Flopsaurus]

Everybody starts somewhere
