Majestic Mount Shasta seems to have a memorable impact on everyone who comes
within sight of the massive, snowcapped volcano. The Mountain inspires thoughts
of walking through luscious meadows, hiking on alpine trails, or climbing the
summit to experience breathtaking views.
Climbing Mt. Shasta was written and designed specifically for those of you
who are motivated to climb Mt. Shasta for the first time. It contains detailed
information for novice climbers and for experienced mountaineers who dream of
reaching the summit using the Avalanche Gulch route. For you nonclimbers, get
comfortable, open this book, and let me take you on a step-by-step journey to
the Mountain's summit and back again.
