Hike and climb 12 miles round trip with 6,000' elevation gain. We can arrange a trip at your convenience given availability of guides. After setting-up camp and having a snack, we'll cover glacier travel techniques. Then, while your guides prepare dinner, you can relax, enjoy the amazing scenery, and prepare your summit packs for the climb. Then we relax and have some refreshment until a great dinner is served.
Post climb is a great time to savor the summit and enjoy the incredible views.
Day three we'll get up about 7 AM, have breakfast, break camp and return to our vehicle by Noon. We should be back to Portland by early evening. Then we'll head up to Sunrise Camp at the northwest end of the Ridge of Wonders where the Mazama and Klickitat Glaciers divide. This is a technical climb to extent that we're traveling on a steep glacier and need to be roped up for safety in case a party member might drop into a crevasse. We will move at comfortable steady pace.
