Hi all,
I'm looking to climb the Avalanche Gulch route up Shasta in a few weeks. Having never climbed Shasta, I have a couple quick questions:
1. Are crampons and an axe required?
2. If so, is there any place local that rents for a good price?
I'll be in the middle of a road trip when I get there and won't be able to take along my gear. Any insight would be much appreciated.
