Ascent Trip ReportA beautiful day out on a big Cascades' volcano. Extremely big elevation gain (1900m) and a long slog up the glacier and snow slopes, but not a particularly difficult climb, compared to other Cascades peaks. This was my intro to the region and it got me hooked on these kinds of trips, i.e. big days out in a terrain approaching mountaineering but still relatively easy, not requiring a lot of gear. My pals Rob and Lee Chai have good memories of the climb, too. Camping at the base of the mountain after the ascent, we drove out the next morning...and headed to climb Mt. St. Helen's.
