On the morning of August 27, 1934, five University of Washington students set out to climb Mount Hood. Among them was Victor Von Normann, just twenty years old, an engineering student and the son of a well-known Seattle attorney. The group made good time up the Hogsback, a steep snow ridge leading to the summit. They were strong, eager, and in good spirits as they began their descent.
