A 26-year-old man from Washington state who was reported missing in Oregon while climbing one of the most treacherous mountains in the U.S. has been found safe, authorities said.

The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office said rescuers located Brendan Davis, who got separated from his friend in “very foggy” weather Thursday afternoon after they summitted Mount Hood from the Timberline Lodge, through his voice.  

Rescue teams navigated through difficult terrain and rescued Davis around 2:45 p.m. Pacific Time, nearly 24 hours after he was reported missing, the sheriff’s office said.

Davis appeared to be in good condition despite spending the night in the mountain, and he was able to hike back down Mount Hood with rescuers, according to the sheriff’s office.

Mount Hood, which is located about 70 miles east of Portland, is Oregon’s tallest peak at approximately 11,240 feet, according to the U.S. Forest Service. It attracts more than 10,000 climbers each year, but it’s a highly technical climb, requiring some planning and expertise.

The mountain is “notorious” for its rapidly changing weather, the forest service warns. Other climbers have fallen to their deaths during such conditions. 

Since the beginning of 2024, Mount Hood climbers are required to obtain a climbing permit if they’re looking to travel above the 9,500-foot mark.
