Would like to do it from South Lake round trip, entering the traverse at SW chute and exiting Sill towards Potluck Pass and back around (~21 miles, ~6500ft gain).

Hello all!

I am looking for a climbing partner for the whole season. I'm just reaching out to the whole community, hoping for some replies! I am looking to do mostly sport climbing, as that is what gear I have. But I am open to learning more about trad as well. I can lead 5.8 and hopefully my partner will be able to teach me some things. I learn quickly and progress quickly. I believe ...

Short notice, but weather permitting, looking to head up Shasta's Avalanche Gulch Saturday 5/4 - Sunday 5/5, with a layover at Lake Helen. Looking forward to getting back on the mountain. If anyone with prior 14er experience (or similar) is interested in teaming up, let me know. My normal climbing partner is currently out-of-commission recovering from a knee surgery. I've chosen Avalanche Gulch as I'm familiar with the route, but open to other non-technical routes ...

I applied for ...
