Achieving the Dream: Summiting Mount Hood

Published by KC Dermody On April 28, 2017

If this photo doesn’t remind you just how small us humans really are, well, probably nothing else will.

Mount Hood

@Tmoonmountainman writes on Instagram, “The first time I saw Mt. Hood was 5 years ago, sitting at my computer looking for pictures of mountains to climb. The photo of a rim ice encrusted rock monolith piercing the sky like a giant dagger captivated me. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago when my climbing partner and I finally made it to the 11,250 summit of Mt. Hood with a perfect view of Illumination Rock – the image that I had dreamed about for 5 years. It was worth the wait.”

No need to spoil the experience with more words – this image truly speaks for itself, don’t you think?
