I think the city is at a lower elevation. There's a mountain ridge between where I am and downtown, which is the dark wooded stuff at the bottom of rhe photo. The skyscrapers are on the other side of that ridge. Hood of course towers over everything.

There are other peaks like Mt. Adams close by that are much easier. I climbed Adams in 1992 and it was just a hard hike to the top and didn't need any specialized climbing training.
