Mount Shasta is one of the largest stratovolcanoes in the world, with an altitude of 4,321m. Located in California, it is part of the Cascade Range, which stretches from the north of this state to British Columbia (Canada). In this outing you will reach its summit after an amazing 3-day winter ascent.
Mount Shasta consists of four volcanic cones including the main summit and the prominent satellite peak of Shastina (3,760m). It is surrounded by the most amazing wilderness, with lots of mountain lakes, streams and rivers. We will climb this mountain while enjoying these amazing landscapes.
Winter can bring storms and high winds, deep snow and extremely poor visibility. For this expedition you need to have considerable experience in mountaineering under extreme conditions.
There are a lot of different climbing routes to attempt the summit of Mount Shasta. During the winter, Sargents Ridge and Casaval Ridge are the best to avoid avalanche danger. We will choose the specific itinerary depending on your skills and the weather conditions.
So, if are you up for this extreme expedition in Mount Shasta, please contact us! It will be an unforgettable experience for you and your friends!
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.
