  • Join me as I dust off these legs for a 2 day ascent of Mt. Shasta via the Bolam Glacier. Conditions were about as good as they get which, unfortunately, does not make for a nail-biting video. Still, I hoped that one of us would fall into a crevasse. Maybe next time.

    So scenic! Sick views though in that vid! I haven't had that luck with the weather here in WA. Attempted to summit a few peaks this past weekend, but the glaciers are exposed way more than usual at this time of the year.

      That's a bummer. I was hoping to make it out to Rainier again this summer but sounds like many reasons would keep us from making the trip.

    I hope that he was kidding when he said at 0:45 that a 60 meter rope was unnecessarily long for glacier travel with three people. And the rope has no knots in it for friction.

      No one got hurt or injured which is so boring. But boring is ok. We’ll try to spice things up next time ;)

    Hmmm 🤔 Bolam Glacier.
    I have submitted through Avalenche Gulch in May.
    I thought June might be a kind of dangerous month to climb but you said the ❄ snow is in perfect condition. Great view !! You had a great weather! Just wondering how many times did u summit Mt Shasta,Jimmy?
    Might consider this route next time. Thank you for sharing :)

    • @HikingNerd
      @HikingNerd  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I’ve lost count haha. It’s a glacier so it’ll be covered all year and rockfall isn’t the same concern on Bolam as it is on Avy Gulch. But it’s steeper and more involved to be on a rope team.
