Description:
Join us for a slog up the North Ridge of Mt Shasta. Unlike the popular Avalanche Gulch on the South side, this route sees much fewer ascents, despite it’s many qualities.
It’s a non-technical route involving a single night on the moraine at 9,400ft near a stream with great views. There’s no crevasse hazards, and nothing above class 2 terrain, with modeate snow to 35º
Bring overnight gear, crampons, standard ice axe, helmet, harness, 2 locking carabiners, and 2 prusiks. If anything deserves protecting, it’s the last snow field before the summit, because the runout below is dangerous and the snow may be icy and precarious.
I’ll provide a long form description of what to expect for those who join.
Please inquire if you’d like more information!
