Mt. Shasta Climb via Avalanche Gulch July 7-8, 2011: PART I
Loading...
Uploaded by elsenorwiggles on Jul 16, 2011
This video is a recap of our climb up Mt. Shasta via the Avalanche Gulch route July 7-8, 2011. It contains the type of information we were looking for while we were researching our Shasta Trip. Omitted is some of the basic information which is easy to find. What is included are a lot of details about travel times, conditions, elevations, and what it was like on the mountain. This is the type of video we were looking for as we were preparing for the trip. Hopefully, it helps you be more prepared for your Shasta climb. We altered our original plan of camping at Helen Lake after getting some advice from a guy at the Fifth Season rental shop. He suggested we camp at Horse Camp. This was due to the water supply, less exposure to sun and wind, not having to carry full packs up 2400 ft more, and a potential better night's sleep due to the lower altitude and calmer weather. Of course, the drawbacks were that on summit day we had to hike even farther and we were not going to get to acclimate as much..

Dude this is AWESOME! I'm glad you made this because I'm planning on climbing it later this month. Did you find yourself in any dangerous situations? Was the trail pretty distinguished? What was your overall time took to get to the top? What is the essential equipment? I'm planning on climbing in 1-2 days

@Markthegreat6789. Thanks for the comments. I'm in the process of uploading the second part of the video. I just had an error. Hopefully, it will be up by tomorrow. It took 10 hours for us to get to the top. Nothing was super dangerous. The only slightly hairy part is from near the Heart to the Red Banks. It gets pretty steep. Make sure you have crampons and an ice axe. Also, be sure you know how to self-arrest with an ice axe. There is no trail since it is in snow, but you can see footprints.
