In this edition of the Explore Oregon Podcast , host Zach Urness talks to mountain climb leader Michael Gurley about the best high mountain hikes and climbs that don't require ropes in Oregon.

In the episode, first published in 2021, Urness and Gurley talk about more than 13 mountain peaks that Oregonians in good shape can attempt with a hike or "scramble" climb, provided they've got strong legs, strong lungs and a good plan.

The climbs they cover include multiple routes that rise above 9,000 feet, and two that ascend above 10,000 feet, in mountain ranges in the Cascades, Siskiyou, Elkhorn and Wallowas.
