Portland Mountain Rescue

Well that was a Mt. Hood summit I will never forget. Everything was going great until a random small trip led to a knee injury in an impossible location on the upper slopes of Hood. I am so grateful for all of the team members from Portland Mountain Rescue who came up to help Steve, my climbing partner, and all your other volunteers that assist climbers like us who find themselves in a jam. Steve tore his patella tendon and could not get down the 5,000+ feet we still had to go. Honestly without Kyle from KAF Adventures leading the way coordinating with the Hood River Sheriffs Office, American Medical Response, and PMR, I don’t know what we would have done.

Portland Mountain Rescue is an entirely volunteer organization. Thank you for your team’s expertise and professionalism when called at the drop of a hat! Just incredible what everyone pitched in to accomplish for us. I can’t possibly thank you enough.
