Shasta Mountain Guides Hosting Climb Against The Odds (Again)

May 16, 2011 By 2 Comments

On June 20-24, 2011, climbers from all over the United States will climb Mt. Shasta, both to raise funds and make a statement of support for the Breast Cancer Fund, and Shasta Mountain Guides is happy to (once again) host that climb.

Hundreds of breast cancer survivors and individuals touched by the disease have participated in ten major mountaineering expeditions through the Breast Cancer Fund’s Climb Against the Odds. The event is both a personal challenge to honor the courage it takes to face breast cancer and a collective effort to support prevention. Click here to visit the Breast Cancer Fund website.

Record Snowpack Makes This The Year to Climb Mount Shasta

May 10, 2011 By 1 Comment

Record Spring snowfall in Northern California means one thing for climbers and skiers on Mt. Shasta; awesome conditions for the upcoming climbing season!

March alone was 260% of normal and it’s still snowing; there is simply no reason to put Mount Shasta off to another year.

Climbing Mt. Shasta is best with a healthy snowpack and this is the best in years. Our 29th season has seen a healthy launch, with summit climbs and ski descents already heading up (and coming down) the mountain (with a lot whooping along the way).

Get ready for the trip of a lifetime.
