The Climb - Mt. Shasta (Full Movie)
Published 2013-08-27
Note: best to watch on 720p setting if you have a decent connection speed.
A short film of our climb of the Wintun-Hotlum route up the east face of Mt. Shasta in July of 2013. The early snow melt after a heavy early winter snowfall made for interesting conditions during the climb. We had beautiful sunshine and a bit of wind near the summit. Because of some deep early season snow that was just semi-consolidated in the summer sun, the down climb down the east face ended up being a bit on the dangerous side as self-arresting was not easy in those conditions. Join us on the adventure of climbing this stunning peak.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for making this film. I also became a part of Mt. Shasta in 2004 with a group of fellow Marines and a couple of Kyrgyztan officers. This movie has brought me great tears of great memories. If anyone is searching for heaven, its at the summit of any good mountain.

Ha!! So fun to join you on this trip!!! I took a lot of screen shots as I only recently learned how to do that... Also congratulations you are blessed, from what I understand, after 5000 feet or so, is considered holy ground, And you made it!! 🌄😁♒🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Really cool video. Thanks for sharing. Planning to summit Shasta next month.

The one advantage of the Avalanche Gulch route in mid June is that you can slide down on your arse from Red Banks for 2000' in a groove made by other climbers. Later in the month it is too rocky. The most dangerous time to climb the Avalanche gulch route is during the August to September months where there are often rock slides in late morning from the sun melting the rocks imbedded in the ice.

I attempted the climb with my scout troop in 2002. I made it to the big rock before the giant rock at the top of ridge. then came the puke.... only 4 of the 15 members made it to in sight of the summit. this is a real mountain and I've always wanted to come back.... thanks for this video!
