perfect conditions are so nice  Sucess!

skin up. stay at lake helen. maybe 20 for a low overnight. climb up. summit. light a match on the summit. blow it out. look around. laugh. ski down. perfect snow on the gulch. as The Flight of the Concords say, "Conditions were perfect". will have to do the chutes next time.

Lame on foot  Sucess!

Ticked for the list should have climbed it another way or done it in better snow on skies.

Great glissade  Sucess!

All worth it for the glissade. Whiteout on top with most people choosing to go back down from the Red Banks.

AG  Sucess!

CMF annual climb...4/6 climbers stood on top.
Local wildfires made the view kind of crappy, but still worth every step.
Until next year...

Round trip in a big day from Bunny Flat. A very good intro mountaineering route. My friend puked at the Red Banks! Awesome glissade down nearly the whole route.

2nd time's a charm  Sucess!

Don't take Shasta too lightly. At first light on a busy Sunday morning, I saw the first summitter of the day tumble about 500 feet after taking a false step right below Red Banks. He had to be helicoptered out from Helen Lake.
