Places to bivvy on Shasta: Casaval Ridge & Green Butte
Posted: Tue Mar 16, 2010 1:26 am
Two quick questions...
What's the best place to overnight on Casaval Ridge? Or is it better to camp near the hut and avoid having to haul the extra weight partway up the mountain?
Also...
Are there any good places to bivvy on Green Butte Ridge? I ask because the Shasta guide/map that Fifth Season sells says, "Not much cover or 'bivoucable' snow between 8,000 and 10,000 feet."
Thanks.
By the way, I'm talking about April...
