Castle Crags from Illumination Saddle 2, 865m (9, 400ft), with Leuthold Couloir (FA 1932) far left, and the Yocum Ridge above the couloir. Castle Crag is a spectacular spire of rotten basalt on the southwest side of Mt Hood, a stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc of Northern Oregon. Powerful glacial forces have eroded down a former rock ridge, leaving this fantasy sprire. The mountain's twelve glaciers are thinning as a result of glacial retreat.
