| olymountainman | Whiteout Blizzard Climb Date Climbed: May 28, 2012 | |
| We started the climb on a nasty, rainy morning. Once we got to the tree line the rain turned to sleet with some sun breaks. We were hopeful for a clearing at the summit so we pushed on with the quickness. At 6000ft we noticed all the other climbers were turning around, we talked to a few who said it was too nasty up there, We kept going. Then the wind and blowing snow started, i could hardly see my feet, our footprints were gone almost as soon as we stepped out of them. We summited in this and quickly ate soom food and drank some red bulls and then bounced out. With no tracks to follow and zero visability I had to rely on my mountain man instincts to guide us back down. Once we broke out of the clouds we glissaded the rest of the way to the tree line. 6hrs up, 3hrs down, no views :( great climb though. | |

| Snow from trailhead to summit. Awesome experience looking down into the crater. Camped at about 4,000' on a ridge along swift creek just above treeline. 4:30am start and summit around 8am. First hike of the year... Nice Place... | |

| Mt. St. Helens was my first climb and it was great. Lots of people on the route, and all were very nice and encouraging. | |

| funkstuf | Nice Hike Date Climbed: Jun 27, 2011 | |
| Very nice day hike. Took 5.5 hrs to the rim from Marble Mtn Sno Park. We took snowshoes and crampons but didn't need either. Glissaded intermittently from the rim to the tree line. The descent was rapid, about 3 hrs. It was nice in the snow and overcast day. Could be work in the sun. | |

| Monopole | Windy on top! | |
| Great climbing day, though it was really windy at the top, which made the traverse to the true summit a little more work than expected. Nevertheless, it was a fantastic day overall. | |

| Fun straight forward route. Ascended on Skis the whole way. Wide open fun skiing the whole way down. Climbed with my friend Clint McMahill during our final year of med school. | |

| BCJ | Bluebird day Date Climbed: Feb 20, 2010 | |
| Felt more like early summer...wish I would have packed shorts. Up in 3.5 hours, down in 2. Fantastic day on the mountain. Went solo, but there were at least 80 others up there. | |

| But I have also done this route in summer to, well, avoid certain legal aspects of this climb. there are some killer ski lines on this route that make it worth wile the long approach. | |

| dirth | Really Fun Ski Lines Date Climbed: Mar 13, 2009 | |
| Can't say enough about the ski descent. So many options for lines, lots of fun rolls and ridges. Pretty good hiking route too... | |

| Jakester | Wind & White Out Date Climbed: Jul 4, 2008 | |
| Foggy at Marble Mtn. Snopark. We thought we'd break through the clouds but never did. Still lots of snow. Fun climb anyway. Great glissade down. | |

| Aeldrin | Nice day Date Climbed: May 10, 2004 | |
| Climbed up with the mazamas. It was just a few days after mother's day, and there was no one on the mountains. Very different than just a few days before. | |

| wildstar | Windy Date Climbed: Apr 28, 2007 | |
| I've wanted to climb St. Helens for a while now and it was great to finally climb it. The weather wasn't great, windy with lots of clouds so the summit views were minimal. Lots of people with skis or snowboards, that seems like the way to go on the descent. Car to car in 8 hours are we aren't in good shape so a fit party should to be able to climb it in under eight. | |
