Description

Mount Shasta is a volcanic peak located in Northern California, near the Oregon border. It is part of the Cascade Range, which stretches from Canada to northern California. Rising 14,162 feet, Shasta is an amazing spot for mountaineers. On this 2-day tour, an expert guide will guide you through the Clear Creek route to its summit.

Consisting of four overlapping volcanic cones, Mount Shasta can be seen from the floor of the Central Valley, 140 miles south. Several glaciers hang from the main summit of the mountain, such as the Whitney, the longest in California, and the Hotlum, the most voluminous one of the state.

Clear Creek is the least technical way to get to the top of Mount Shasta. This route is basically a straight line up the mountain and follows natural formations. In Clear Creek Meadow, an excellent area for summer camping, we will appreciate a wonderful alpine landscape even before reaching the summit, which offers a unique visual experience.

Furthermore, Mount Shasta has also an historic appeal. Three Native Americans tribes originally inhabited this region: the Modocs, the Klamaths and the Wintun. The massive volcano held special religious significance to all of them.

So, if you are up for an unforgettable mountaineering summer expedition, please contact us! We will be glad to guide you to the top of the imposing Mount Shasta!

This trip will be operated by one of the 3 permit holder outfitters: Shasta Mountain Guides, Alpine Skills International and SWS Mountain Guides.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
