This web site is a compilation of information gathered from numerous sources. The webmaster has taken reasonable steps to provide you with up-to-date information for a sport that requires strenuous activity and can involve life threatening risks. Your safety depends on your own good judgment, based on experience and a realistic assessment of your ability as well as weather and route conditions. Mountaineering can be a rewarding experience but if you have any doubt as to your ability to safely climb, then you should obtain  information from a guide book and/or take a basic mountaineering course from a qualified climbing instructor.

Also, we recommend to call the Mt. Shasta Ranger Station at (530) 926-4511 for any information on the current conditions of the mountain and/or call the Fifth Season's Climbing Report at (530) 926-5555. Good luck and enjoy your expedition and adventure!

NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB WITHOUT TAKING A BASIC MOUNTAINEERING COURSE FIRST FROM ONE OF THE GUIDE SERVICES THAT OPERATE ON MT. SHASTA. LEARNING HOW TO WALK ON CRAMPONS, USE AN ICE AXE, AND SELF-ARREST IS THE KEY TO YOUR SAFETY!!!
