apparently there was an accident up there that night -- from the mount shasta avalanche center --

"We did have a climbing accident on Halloween night when a climber tumbled 1200 feet in Avalanche Gulch and was evacuated the following morning."

hope he/she's alright

At Helen Lake there was a single "toy" tent that had no business being more than 50 feet from the car. When we hit the Bunny parking lot at about 7PM there were only about 2 vehicles left. The nice weather may have played a role by encouraging an inexperienced crew to go "hard-man." Let's hope nothing serious.

If you find yourself in enough trouble to say "Why me? Why now?" You have traveled a well worn path. Every "Freak" accident happens in a very predictable chain of events. It is our job to see those events unfolding and stop them.
Just my opnion. Hope everyone is allright.
