As of January 1, 2024, all climbers above 9,500' in the Mt. Hood National Forest are required to carry a permit. As a Mazama member, if you are accepted onto this climb, your permit will be included with your registration—you will not need to arrange your own climbing permit.

This route is one of several variations of Devil's Kitchen headwall. It begins due east of Crater Rock and follows a large cone of debris into a gully. At the top of Steel Cliff, follow Wy'east to the top. Like all steep faces on Mt. Hood, avoid this route unless it is well covered by snow. From Oregon Highby Jeff Thomas
