illbelayya Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 (edited) Trip: Mt. Shasta - Hotlum-Bolam Ridge Date: 5/26/2007 Trip Report: An informative trip report and a shameless plug for our blog: We left the truck at the Northgate Trailhead and hiked up to our camp at just over 10,000 feet. The hike was 3.5 miles of switchbacks followed by snow and one messy scree field. We camped at one of many nice sites on a series of "benches". The benches were a moonscape of glacial till littered with big chunks of volcanic rock. The rocks provided shelter from the breeze and snow patches nearby provided water. Aside from a battalion of ants, the only wildlife was a single raven on the prowl for a handout. We whiled away the afternoon lounging in the sun, scoping out our route, and making water change states. Please see our blog for the rest (including photos): shameless plug Gear Notes: Ice Ax, Crampons, Helmets Approach Notes: Approx. 3.5 miles from Northgate TH to 10,000 feet.
