Mt. Shasta Summit Climb (14,162') 2 Day

We climb the standard John Muir Route, aka: Avalanche Gulch.

Routes may vary as conditions change.

These 2-day ascents are short courses covering the most important fundamental skills and mountaineering safety techniques. We cover self-belay and self-arrest with your ice axe and French stepping with your crampons. You will learn to build a safe high camp and begin to understand avalanche and rock-fall hazards.

This is a great opportunity to learn important mountaineering techniques and test your stamina on a big mountain. Climbers need to be in very good physical condition (in order to keep to the standard time-lines necessary to climb the mountain safely) and be ready for a long strenuous summit day.

We've been climbing Shasta since 1971. With ASI, you will be climbing with the most experienced mountain guides with the highest professional certifications and the highest summit success rate on the mountain.

Cost: $455
