Mount Shasta - Bunny Flat TH
John Muir Route/Avalanche Gulch
Partners none no partners
Classic Avalanche Gulch route up Mount Shasta from Bunny Flat TH. Split into two days with an overnight at Helen Lake @ ~10,400 on Saturday before continuing to the summit on Sunday and then returning to the car. Saturday made the 4.2 miles to Helen Lake in about 3 hours. Sunday completed the climb to the summit in a little over 5 hours with an additional 6 hours to climb back down to Helen Lake, pack up the tent and return to the trail head. Overall a very nice first 14,000 footer experience (and solo at that!). It was perfect weather both days and not too windy. Still good snow pack. Good glissade conditions on the way back down too from the Red Banks all the way to Helen Lake and beyond.

Heavy snow pack and ice along with an approaching weather system had me turn around at Horse Camp at the Sierra Club Hut. An awesome mountain.
