That’s why I only climb Mt Hood virtually. Living vicariously through other the idiocy of other people.
It hurts less and is much warmer that way.
A little off topic but a guilty pleasure of mine recently has been watching videos of these people who paramotor. Check out this insane video of a guy who went to nearly 20,000 feet above the clouds.
Flying To 17,500 Feet on my Paramotor!
Now these guys have to obey FAA rules so they can't stray far from where they take off. They just go straight up and then come down. Totally nerve-wracking just watching the video.
