Hey There,
I'm looking for a lead climber to climb N. Pal, Starlight and Thunderbolt with sometime at the end of July or first week in August. I'm flexible.

I wonder if anyone here would be up to the traverse of all glaciers on Shasta at once.

Does someone know what I could reasonably expect for snow conditions on these trails in mid-April? Any information would be helpful. Thanks.

I’m looking for buddies from BA (best SF) to carpool to and climb Shasta starting mid April through the whole season. With a proper notice I might go at any time (weekends or weekdays).

I’m indifferent if you are a beginner(s) or advanced mountaineer(s). We can climb together or separately, any route, rope / no rope. We can even practice crevasse rescue if you want. All up to you.

Perhaps we could also do a ...
