Mount Hood: Circumnavigating Hood and Summiting
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ย. 2024
- The Mount Hood area is awesome. Lots of trails, trees, volcano stuff and endless natural floral arrangements. What starts out as a reported 38 miles run turns into a 44.5 mile beast with 11,000 ft of uphill, a lot of it on pumicite. With the memory of the run still making my legs throb I ascend the heights of Hood. I was warned several times about the thawing rocks breaking loose and charging down at me Indian Jones like, but the danger never materialized.

Absolutely insane! For perspective - I’m a local pdx native - this loop trail is recommended as a 3 night 4 day backpacking trip! You did 40ish miles in under 11 hours, epic!!
Daniel Cordova no kidding. I can clear it in 48 without too much fuss, but a single day is crazy.
To follow up with a summit the next morning is incredible.
Not to mention stopping for filming
The craziest part is that hes doing it AND stopping and filming.
"I don't know if I'd do it again, though. I'd probably do it in the other direction."
What's crazier than accomplishing these miles and times is that he's stopping and filming the whole time as well which means hes really booking it.
"I'm trying to maintain a pace of 4-5 miles an hour... which may not sound difficult"
LOL
Danny, you are insane. You are truly a boss. “What are they doing? Using oracle bones to predict the miles?” This part made me lol. You are an inspiration to me to get out there and keep moving. Thank you for such amazing content. 👍🏼👍🏼
Stupid mountain!
You’re absolutely insane; incredibly driven and outrageously inspiring.
I was forming the question in my mind if you took a silent partner along during these epic runs
to help set up the cameras - just as the handful of clips appear showing you setting down and picking up
the bloody things. Stupid question!
You have one of the truly very best TH-cam channels going. They’re total pleasure to watch.
Actually you’re outrageously driven. Glad you didn’t die too.
"Glad I didn't die. Always a plus."
Not dying is always a plus, I agree
Nothing "mediocre" or "amateur" about what these guys are doing...
That’s the joke
I plan on circumventing and bagging the summit in under 24 hours this summer. Thanks for the inspiration!
Did you do it?
@@BearPlane747 waiting for all the trail to melt out! Want to join go the fun?
Danny a man with feet of iron, crushing basalt to sand. Another great one thanks for taking us along for the adventure!
45 miles one day, and another 8 miles with major vert the next day! You are a machine! Well done and looks epic!
0:30 - 65 km.
1:43 - 6 to 8 km/h.
3:05 - 40 km.
3:42 - 370 m.
4:57 - 62.1 km.
6:05 - 68 km.
9:27 - 72 km, 3300 m.
9:34 - 13 km, 1700 m.
For reference, the West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island is 77 km long.
Seriously love all your videos! Keep cranking em out haha!
The rant at 5 minutes is so spot on X)
Danny you are a freaking BEAST! Timberline Trail in a day followed by summiting Hood the next day in late summer conditions. Nice man! Love your channel!
Oracle bones lol
Best youtubers hands down!
Hi.
Impressed with your run around Hood.
As much impressed with your climbing Hood the next day.
As always, great photography and narration.
God Bless always for safety.
You guys are so rad. Keep 'em coming.
Just astonishing.
Enjoyed the diatribe about gaining & losing vert constantly, that's me on New Zealand trails, totally! Really enjoying watching the films you guys make, thanks so much for taking us along :-) I really hope you guys are hitting the Hardrock lottery; I would love to see you guys run that if someone lucks out and gets in and therefore others could participate via pacing...
Serious life goals here. I'm not much younger than these guys and they'd pass me shortly after leaving the lodge lol. Can't wait to get in shape and do this. For now I'll keep putzing around Oregon and Washington hiking trails with my day pack.
All your solid points you made about the trails... That's Oregon for you.
Love the channel bro! My fiancé and I just moved to Alaska a couple months ago and have always loved hiking. Watching your channel has made us want to start doing longer/bigger treks! I’m just curious though why you’re always running through the trails and doing it as fast as possible? Is it a time thing or is that just how you prefer to knock the trails out? Keep enjoying what life has to offer though! This is how life is meant to be lived💯🥾
What an animal, amazing!!!
what beautiful landscapes friend impregnates me the beauty of the places you visit and I am also struck by the fact that you can travel all those places inospitos your alone, since doing that in my country would be somewhat strained
damn, you're in shape.
You're videos are excellent keep up the good work!!
anybody know the song at 9:10?
trying to make a playlist with my favorite mediocre amateur songs, but i can't seem to find this one
Wow that was crazy, No way can you call yourself “mediocre”.
It would be interesting to hear how you choose gear for your various adventures. What works and what failed.
Smashing hike! You top it off with your honesty with the rant at 5:00
You sure cover a lot of territory in one day! Great video of an amazing place.
Looking to do the circumnavigation next weekend! Hear that there may be a fair bit of snow left but the warm temps will hopefully take care of that. Thanks for the inspiration!
Such a beautiful and impressive mountain. I wish I had the opportunity to go there! Great inspiration as always.
I need to know Danny's workout routine. He just ran a marathon and a half with several thousand feet of vert and slept it off no problem. Demigod status.
Magnificent adventures, all! Loving the chance to go along in some sense. Glad you seem to thrive on these unbelievably hard pushes.
Another epic trip... but dude, I've seen you cheat the Reaper many times in your vids. Seriously, you always seem one mistake away from having a bad day on the hill. I wish you continued health and safety.
Epic! Hoping to climb Mt. Hood next spring.
Well done, awesome video’s still can’t believe it took me so long to find....🧐 keep it up!! Next Mt. Whitney summit FKT 😱🤔😜👣👣🏔
Ive been told that climbing Hood in August is extremely difficult but you made it look very doable. How hard was the climb. Great videos.
Mark Taylor won’t speak for him, but I did the summit recently and the big danger in summer is rock falls.
But he did it right, and was well below 10,000 by the time the worst hit. Being up in the crater at 1pm is a different story though! A steady rain of microwave sized rocks at that point.
@@craigmiller4199 Why did he say it only happened during the day? Snow melt dislodging rocks?
Caillou pretty much exactly this. Heats up during the day, refreezes at night. So big rocks start tumbling. It gets going around 8-9am, and is really heavy after noon.
Gotta start at like 4am and book it.
Danny, I really dig your videos. Production quality and comedy are stellar. 2 questions:
1) where can I purchase the mediocre amateur cap you sport in some videos?
2) as for this video and the circumnavigation, it’s awesome. Have you heard of the wonderland trail around Rainier? I live right at the foothills and it’s a sweet trail and difficult AF (93 miles, 24k elevation) if you’re trying to get done in a short time frame.
Hopefully you check the comments. And srsly, the hat, TAKE MY MONEY.
Where in the Foothills? I'm in the area as well. Just curious!
3:34, the Danny Dark-o turn begins... (and "using oracle bones to predict how far it is??" -- loool!)
You Sir are a legend!
Thanks! Great trip. Filming all that yourself. WoW!
No, 4-5 mph not only sounds hard, it is hard. I do 3 and ave 19 a mile on moderate terrain. You’re a beast. I’m motivated!
what day of the year were you on Mt Hood? Looks like great weather!
Nice videos man. Crazy cool.
OH man, I hiked up to the Palmer glacier Saturday and was huffing and puffing. This guy is a manimal.
Omg I feel this so hard about losing all your elevation gain to the river valleys and then having to go back up. My dad and I just did the wonderland trail around mt rainier and had to go through that 1-2 times a day
Amazing!
10 hrs 40 mins.. You’re super human
Brother, I feel your pain. Wait until you go to Japan and do the Diakiretto arete in Kamikochi. I'm not in your class, so I tried to avoid it but I took the wrong turn. Japanese trails are all designed by the Marquis de Sade. After two of those heart breaking dips, and a via ferata that was about 200' of aluminum ladders (I had the thought, shouldn't I be carrying a section of rain gutter?) So I went through two of these dips, and stood at one spot for about ten minutes trying to figure out why WHY? there wasn't a mountain hut there. Then laboriously climbing back up out of the saddle.... only to find another saddle. There was this tower with this deep groove. It looked so completely awful and impossible I was convinced that that had to be the trail. I just stood there wondering if I couldn't just somehow spend the next week or so right where I was... Then I noticed some climbers along a not too difficult arete to the left. And the hand holds in the rocks? Never reposition deeper into the same hole, there's another one fight next to it. That hissing coming out of about every 20th handhold? You just woke up a bat. You and Blake would eat this route for breakfast, but you'll be shaking your head at people wearing cotton gloves while doing rock climbing moves.
What an epic adventure! What month/time of year was this?
I feel your pain. Once I walked the trail with an 86 pound pack..... up and down those ridges was killer and dis heartening, but worth many memories.... now of course I know better, I was young and dumb then, now I’m old and dumb and living vicariously thru your “mediocre” video lens.....
Oh my god I can relate to every minute of this video
Anyone know what route Danny took? It looks like the Old Chute. Was this really climbed in August? Dang that is gutsy call to climbing in the middle of Summer. Bravo Danny!
You’re amazing!!!
Wow!! Incredible!!
So sick, Always wanted to do this.
6:34 Can someone pls link me or tell me the name of those underarmor looking things around his legs? Thx!
Compression socks
I think this man could win the Barlay Marathons
Time to do Wonderland around Mount Rainier. Over 90 some odd miles and an insane amount of elevation
DO MT. TIMPANOGAS IN UTAH!!! It’s a really fun trail and beautiful scenery. Short, but good
What time of year was this? I did Hood in May and there was much more snow.
This was two years ago in the summer. I ran the loop again last year in June and there was a ton of snow.
Another epic video. I would like to get out and check out the skiing out there and drive up to the lodge. Can you see Mt. Rainier from Mt. Hood?
Goals! Will try it out
So pretty!
Love it! Thanks for creating and sharing! Was this shot with a GoPro?
Have run this trail many times, only one of which was clockwise from Timberline. CCW from TL is the best direction (run to the sun).
Pretty impressive and gorgeous scenery! When did you hike this?
What month is this?
So sick, I did this too!
What?!?!? No helicopter!?!?
If you ever head south to California, look up Mt Shasta or the Trinity Alps.
That sand he speaks of is volcanic ash.
Bad Ass!!
I love you!!!!
How do your feet not hurt?
Did you climb that in micro spikes?
I rigged some crampons to fit onto my trail running shoes.
I lost it at the 5 min mark
Wide riverbed at 5:35. Thanks.
I should be working but I'm watching your videos instead
Don't think ppl know how much goes into this when your solo
Dusty Dan!
I think it is safe to say this achievement is substantially beyond mediocre.
I hate the 7k people that enjoyed watching this video but were too lazy and/or selfish to tap the like button. Hate.
I see Mt Hood everyday. I was finding all your rants comical. I’ll explain something to you. It’s Orygone that’s why. Not the most with it state by any means. Orygone prides it’s self on the take 2 steps forward and 25 or more back theory.
not easy
947
Hopefully this guy isn't on the juice 🤐
Do Not call the Elliott Glacier canyon or the White River canyon 'stupid'. What is certifiably stupid is attempting to circumnavigate the 40 mile Hood trail in 12 hours! Take your time. Enjoy it. Take 4 days and savor the terrain and scenery! I know ultra trail runners that complete it in a day, but WHY?
Because life is short. Because hard day trips are so much better then camping.
I love your videos. Have watched a bunch. You do complain a lot. Maybe you should take more time...just saying.
You're a beast! Great job man! I'm inspired
