Shasta west face gully. Ropes needed?

[mtn.climber]

Hi,

Am planning to do this week of June 13. Can anyone advise if ropes are needed on this route this time of year? I've read different opinions.

Thanks.

the steepest part is around 10k feet, prob 40-45 degrees iirc, if someone in your party isnt comfortable with the grade there is an alternate route you can take to the climbers right to that isnt as bad, the rest of the route past that is pretty moderate... if you have a first time snow climber in your party i would take a rope, otherwise no
