SUMMARY:Emergency Preparedness

SUMMARY:Mt Shasta
DESCRIPTION:This is a climb to Mt Shasta’s summit at 14\,180 ft via Avalanche Gulch on the south side. Although not a technical climb\, it will require a considerable physical and mental effort to ascend over 7\,200 feet from the trailhead. The rewards include sweeping views of the surrounding valleys and peaks\, and the chance to (hopefully) stand on the summit of one of the most beautiful Cascade peaks.  \nI’ll send more information before the trip\, but for now\, here’s a rough schedule. \nFriday: (Optional) Drive to Mt. Shasta and sleep in town or at the Bunny Flats parking lot/trailhead (6\,950 ft).\nSaturday: Ascend to Helen Lake base camp (10\,443 ft).\nSunday: Early am summit attempt. Return to camp for short rest. Descend to parking lot and drive home. \nConditioning and altitude\nAt 14\,180 ft\, Mt. Shasta requires a significant effort and can induce mild to severe altitude illness. The better your conditioning the better you will enjoy the climb and minimize altitude affects. Best methods include hiking uphill with a weighted pack\, running (hills if possible) and biking.
