climbhigher Posted May 28, 2001 Posted May 28, 2001 Climbed St. Helens on Memorial Day weekend via Monitor Ridge route. Road is now open to climbers bivouac. Weather was perfect. Leave early in the morning for firm snow. It softened significantly later in the day. 12 year old Trevor made the top. Followed it up with a trip through Ape Cave. The first 10 minutes of the dark cave was cool. Then next hour taxed the nerves. Entering Ape Cave is a must - Going all the way through is just drudgery. Quote
