Mt. St. Helens Summit


Labor Day weekends I summitted Mt. St. Helens. I am hoping to join the Mazamas, they are a climbing group out of Portland, Oregon. They have been around for over a hundred years. My great, great, aunt Olive was a Mazama. One of their membership requirements is to summit a glaciated peak. Mt. St. Helens is probably one of the easiest peaks to climb for a beginner.

I hope to join them next year and take BCEP, Basic Climbing Education Program to prepare students physically and mentally to be safe team members on Mazamas “A” and “B” level climbs, and to provide a foundation for continuing mountaineering education and experience.
