StevenSeagal Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 WTF is up with the sudden flood of St. Helens permit requests? Is there a convention in town or something? Quote
Hugh Conway Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 people see temps in the 90s and think nothing like climbing barren volcano scree? Quote
PR Quetzal Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 i want to go up, I cant without the pass, and the dates I can go are booked. Quote
StevenSeagal Posted August 15, 2008 Author Posted August 15, 2008 i want to go up, I cant without the pass, and the dates I can go are booked. Yeah I get that part. But there's been like 7 or 8 other similar requests in the last two days. It's an unusual number, and it's all from people who've never posted here before. Is Dave Matthews doing a crater rim concert or something? Quote
olyclimber Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Well, nothing wrong with asking. There are only a number of permits given out, and not everyone ends up using them. We actually might be working on a permit exchange of sorts for the people who give out the permits, whom have contacted CC.com with the idea. They may even be referring people looking for booked weekends to check here for people who aren't using them... I would like to see Wolfmother playing in the crater. Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 people see temps in the 90s and think nothing like climbing barren volcano scree? agreed - the best time is when it's all snow car to summit. Quote
PR Quetzal Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 I hope not...maybe the first 100 who signed up know something I dont. I was referred here by the Mt. St. Helen's Institute page: http://www.mshinstitute.org/climb-the-volcano/Permit%20Exchange Quote
jshamster Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 So, if this is the new, hot place for St. Helens permits, can we get a separate forum cat. or something? There are currently five separate requests on the first page of the Climbers Board. Maybe move 'em to S. Cascades forum? Cheers. Jimbo Quote
Hugh Conway Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 I 3rd the motion for a climbing pass forum! Quote
olyclimber Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 we use a revised copy of Roberts around here. Quote
olyclimber Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 opening your checkbook i will move those permit requests after i overcome an anomaly. Quote
pc313 Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Climb it in the fall,winter,Or spring and you don't need a pass,a few more miles walk in,and not all the trail blockers in Reebok's, Mt. my ass 8,365ft. but it's Kool in deep snow!! Quote
olyclimber Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Due to its degree in prominence, I'm going to continue calling it a mountain. It maybe easier to "climb", its pretty a cool "peak". Quote
olyclimber Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Also, all requests for Permits (for where ever) can be found in the Permit Exchange. Quote
pc313 Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 This year my Cascades Volcano Annual Pass is no good for "Hill" ST. Helens even though it saids {this pass is valid for climbing fees at Mount St. Helens and Mt. Adams for the year issued} But I do like Mt. Adams, the all 12,276 FT. Quote
pc313 Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 It's better Looking in late Winter,or early Spring! And no permet's needed! Quote
