Climbers approaching the notch in the terminal moraine of the Hotlum Glacier
Looks cold and windy up there. How many different routes have you done on Shasta, 3pin?
The wind was up high and not too bad as we set up camp just off the glacier. Only been to the top once, via the Hotlum Glacier. We have skied Avalanche Gulch, Sun Bowl, and Old Ski Bowl areas several times, but not from the summit. Yet. We were going to join some friends for a day trip up from Bunny Flats to the top and back via Avalanche Gulch with stashing our skis as high as snow conditions allowed last Memorial Day weekend. Alas the spring weather did not cooperate and we disappeared into the middle of Nevada for the long weekend. There are so many interesting routes on this mountain. We'd never get any work done if we lived closer!
