*Ice axe, crampons, self arrest.
*Hypothermia, i.e. freezing to death.
*Freedom of the Hills, Part 4; snow ice and alpine climbing. read it, learn it & practice it before going off to Shasta with newbs.
*Many good guide books on Shasta, read one before going.
*Spring is better than winter for a first experience on ice & snow.
