Shasta Hotlum-Bolum

[deskjockie]

I've checked the Forest Service climbing advisory regarding the Northgate road access as well as the avalanch conditions. Does anyone have any first hand information on the road to the Northgate TH and whether there's a boot track in up the Hotlum-Bolum ridge?

 

Or Clear Creek - can you really get within 2 miles of the TH?

 

 

Thanks for any info on either route
