First Ascent of Mt Hood by Portland Party
A nine member party from Portland along with guests ascend Mt Hood from Government Camp. They reach Crater Rock after a grueling climb, endure cold bivouacking, and celebrate with a flag salute at Government Camp. Guides lead the group, with dramatic views over nine snow peaks and a proud descent ending at Rhododendron Tavern.
