Mt St Helens (5/7/18)

Post by burkem09 » April 25th, 2018, 11:55 am

Hello everyone! Just moved to Pac NW and got a permit to climb Mt St Helens on Monday May 7th. Anyone else going up that day? Am hiking alone and looking to buddy up for safety.

thanks!
Matt

Don't worry! As long as you're going up the Monitor Ridge route, there will be 99 others somewhere along the trail . . .

Just make sure you remember which ridge you came up on

You can go back down on the next ridge over and it looks almost the same, but by the time you get down to the trail around he mountain, you can be a mile away from where you wanted
