Mt. St. Helens, Swift Creek Worm Flows

Activity Notes

This is an early attempt to summit Mt. St. Helens, permit necessary but will be organized by climb leader. The plan is to start early around 5AM (ready to start climbing) from Marble Mountain Sno Park. It is up to you if you come the night before to sleep in the car or if you come that morning.

Depending on weather, snowpack, etc. I assume that we have to use snowshoes for most of our adventure, which will make this a more strenuous activity. I recommend you make sure you did some hikes already that seasons before applying for this attempt. We will probably need around 6-7h to get up, take a break at the summit, and turn around. Glissading might be possible but optional.

I keep the team small for two reasons - I believe in better climb experiences keeping the team small and agile, and second, it is my first climb I offer with the Mazamas. 8 people total including leaders.

After the registration closes, I will reach out to accepted climbers and share a more detailed prospectus, car pool sheet, etc. Reach out to me if you have questions in advance.
