Our three-day Mt Shasta Avalanche Gulch, Introduction to Mountaineering course is a slower-paced, skill-intensive, instructional course in mountaineering basics, including a summit climb via Mt Shasta Avalanche Gulch. No previous mountaineering experience is necessary. Our approach includes instruction and skill development taught by professional guides, complete ice ax and crampon instruction, ice-ax self-arrest, route finding, mountain awareness, establishing a proper camp, and mountain safety. We designed this course in response to the request that more time is spent developing our client’s ice and crampon skills, thereby increasing their confidence with the gear higher up on the mountain, as a bonus, allowing us to acclimatize better to the elevation. So climb Mt Shasta avalanche gulch at a slower rate and enjoy your time on Mt Shasta.

“We had a great trip. Richard made sure we were able to summit safely and learn everything we needed to enjoy our time on the mountain. This was a truly unique experience we will always remember. We would definitely recommend SWS for any Shasta climbs.”
