Lost my new camera today while coming down from climbing Mt St Helens. I believe I lost it on the wormflow below the monitor. If you are able to find it please contact me at gerblet@gmail.com. Thanks so much.

Went up and attempted to summit, but got turned back by awful weather. We hiked up to the tree line and camped out by 12:30 am. It took us a lot longer to get there than we thought because the entire trail is under snow still and no one has broken in the trail yet. Woke up around 4 am and headed up. Once we reached the second monitor it was snowing and 20 mph winds with visibility of about 10 feet so we decided to head back down and try again another day.

Went up to cougar today and picked up my permits for tomorrow and was told that Climbers Bivouac would be opening up today at 5pm. Ill be heading up tonight and camping out.

A gate by a private land owner blocks the road still. Only way to access the peak is via the North Siouxon trail head and a 22 mile round trip hike. http://www.dnr.wa.gov/Publications/eng_rms_mitch_06_full.pdf
