Description:
Climb Mount Saint Helens from climbers bivouac on the south side. The climbing permit is $22... in addition to the Obsidian fees. I have six permits paid for... so call me. We need to drive up to the camp the afternoon before. We will pick up our permits on Monday and camp Monday night at the Climbers Bivouac. We will start hiking at dawn on Tuesday. The first hour is through the trees. I expect lots of mosquitos. The climb should take 9-12 hours up and down, so we should have time to break camp and drive home Tuesday evening. The view from the crater rim is spectacular. I have not seen it in a few years, so the dome has grown. There is scree near the top and a rather long talas field that is tough on the knees. The late lingering snow may complicate things in the talas.

Supplies and Equipment Required: sturdy hiking shoes or boots. layers for cold or hot. camping gear for car camping at the Bivouac. Poles would probably be a good thing to have. If we run into conditions that require snow shoes, crampons or ice axe, we will turn around... so don't bring those things on the climb :-) I plan to eat at the diner on Monday evening (where we get the permits). We will need a fast, early breakfast at camp plus lunch and snacks for the trail. carry two liters of water.
