Weird ladder-like things on the PCT

Aug 10, 2025 6:59 PM

Strange structure just off the PCT somewhere near Timberline Lodge on the south slope of Mt Hood. I think it was near where the PCT crosses Hwy 35.

This one was further south on the PCT very close to the Frog Lake parking lot.

Clearly it's not meant for hanging your skimobile.

When the snow is that deep they still don't want you snowmobiling through there.

I'd guess a bear hang pole, instead of relying on trees

Obstacles like these:
Grasp lowest bar, leaping usually is required.
Pull yourself up onto the bar.
Continue ascending switching sides each bar.
When you go over the top, decend switching bars until the bottom.
