Re: Best Glissade in Lower 48 States

I have been thinking back and I would add the glissade on Mt St Helen on the
Dog's Head Route between Nelson Glacier and the Dog's Head in early season.
The glissade can not be done now since the Dog's Head area of the mountain
was blown away in the eruption. If I remember correctly the glissade was
about 1,400 feet ending below the Dog's Head. Most parties camped just
below the formation before making the climb of the mountain. Anyone have
a memory of the route?
