Mazamas — For the Love of Mountains
This route is a nice variation on the standard Avalanche Gulch route. Ambitious climbers can also tag the summit of the subpeak Shastina on this route. Weather and fitness are often the deciding factors of success on Shasta. If you want to tune up for Rainier, this is a good choice and often has better and more predictable weather.
