Steve heading towards the catwalk

Just before the Catwalk

A party on one of the steeper portions of the ridge.

steep

Looking back after gaining the ridge. About 10,500?

Summit of Mt. Shasta

the "Catwalk."

A party belaying the catwalk. Pretty decent exposure on the left towards Avalanche Gluch. This would be a bad place to slip.

Casaval Ridge is the ridgeline on the left

2019 Summit in May, check out our video on my youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TepFkOxjq64&t=1s

Nice spot for a picnic

The last part of the ridge. Follow this part of the ridgeline on the right to the base of Misery Hill. Be careful not to heard onto the Whitney Glacier on the other side of the crest.

Looking back on Casaval Ridge from the summit. The route takes you to about the center right of the ridgeline seen here. Whitney Glacier on the right.

Looking down on Casaval Ridge

Catwalk, most fun part of the day, crux was much lower and for us was all about route finding in the dark, long route, lots of fun
