Mt. St. Helens, Swift Creek Worm Flows (No Permit)

Activity Notes

Winter climb of Mt. St. Helens on Monday 1/20 starting from Marble Mountain Sno Park.  All climbers are expected to have some avalanche related experience (i.e. the ability to do a beacon search).  All climbers must wear an avalanche beacon and which can be borrowed from the Mazamas if they don't own one.  

I aim to maintain a moderate and consistent pace, and strive to keep the team moving efficiently.  Ideally, our pace will be equivalent in effort to Timberline to Silcox hut in under 1 hour with a climbing pack.  With a similar effort we should reach the MSH summit in ~ 5 hours.

Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concern.

Required Gear:

• Ice Axe / Crampons / Helmet
• Snowshoes
• Beacon, Shovel, Probe
