On August 9th, 2014, I saw this backpack on the way up. I thought someone left it temporarily to make the summit; although, it was a bit low. On the way down the backpack was still there. I was basically the last person on the summit and did not see any potential owner of this backpack. Just posting this in case if someone might be reported missing.
Also I saw a lot of trash that day on this route, including wag bags, partial crampons and trekking poles and empty disposable bottles, to mention a few.
PLEASE DO NOT TRASH MT SHASTA!!!
