The airline transport certificated pilot was attempting to land the tailwheel-equipped airplane on a mountain ridge under Title 14, CFR Part 91. He said landing uphill necessitated landing with a tailwind. He reported that during the landing roll a gust of wind picked up the tail, and rolled the airplane upside down. The pilot said the airplane sustained damage to both wings and the rudder.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate compensation for a gusting tailwind during the landing roll, which resulted in a loss of control and a nose over. Factors contributing to the accident were the tailwind and wind gust.
