Mt. Shasta, California, USA (14,162 ft / 4316 m): via Hotlum Left Gully Direct

August 5, 2007

Mt. Shasta (14,162')

Brief report:

Simulclimbed the Hotlum Left Gully Direct with kovarpa. Started out from our camp at 10,200' at ~ 3:30am. I dropped one of Pavel's short screws on the upper gully and lost an hour roundtrip as I had to downclimb 500 feet to retrieve it. Summited by 10am. Windy & chilly. Back at Northgate trailhead by 4pm. Absolutely awesome burgers & garlic fries at Billy Goats Tavern in town.
