Our wide range of programs reflects our commitment to the educational experience and we offer instructional courses and guided climbs at all levels. Our progression of courses and climbs moves towards the eventual goal of making our students independent and proficient climbers. This is an elemental cornerstone of our guiding philosophy. We take pride in helping beginning climbers achieve the first climbing goals of their career as well as helping advanced climbers hone their skills and climb more challenging routes. Whether you simply want to enjoy the view from the top of Mt Hood, or take the first step toward becoming an accomplished mountaineer, let us help you get started.
Mt. Hood is Oregon's highest peak.
Standing at 11,240 feet, the peak rises one vertical mile above Timberline Lodge with twelve glaciers perched on it's flanks. There are many climbing routes varying in difficulty from fairly easy to advanced and all require proficiency in the use of an ice axe, rope and crampons. We also offer courses and climbs on rock at Smith Rock State Park, the Portland area, the Columbia River Gorge and alpine rock climbing throughout the Oregon Cascades. All of our courses are designed for hands on technical training, combined with extensive climbing. Copyright 2000 Timberline Mountain Guides,Inc.
