Mt Shasta Summit Climb & Skills Seminar 5 Day
The 2nd highest peak in the Cascades, 14,179' Mt Shasta is California's most massive volcano and an ideal venue to learn mountaineering skills. Massive snow fields and a variety of terrain, including steep slopes and glaciers, make Shasta a perfect place to learn big mountain climbing skills.
In our 5-day Mt Shasta Summit & Skills Expedition we cover expedition skills including:
- Camp Craft
- Movement and efficiency on snow and ice
- Crampon techniques
- Ice Axe Self Arrest and Team arrest
- Rope Team Travel
- Snow and Ice Anchors
- Crevasse Rescue
- Fixed Line Travel
Our program will culminate in a summit attempt of Mt Shasta via the Hotlum Glacier. It's an incredible big mountain climbing experience and a great way to put the skills we've covered to use. The skills learned here are the perfect foundation for any big mountain climb, from Denali to Mt Everest.
Requisite Experience
