Mount Shasta, with an estimated volume of 350 km3, is the most voluminous stratovolcano in the Cascade Range. Located near the Oregon border in northern California, it is the fifth-highest volcano in the state, reaching 4,321m. On this 3-day tour we will take the most popular and easiest route to its summit: Avalanche Gulch.
Many climbers try to reach the summit of Mount Shasta. All of the routes present challenges and hazards. The most popular one is Avalanche Gulch, which gains about 7,300 feet (2,200 m) of elevation, in an approximated 11.5 miles (18.5 km) round trip.
On our three-day guided ascent to Shasta you will learn the basics of mountaineering: ice climbing, crampon use, route finding and safety. No previous experience is necessary.
Shasta and its surroundings are part of the Shasta–Trinity National Forest, which encompasses five wilderness areas, hundreds of lakes and more than 6,000 miles of streams and rivers. While climbing this peak, you will enjoy unforgettable views of this wonderful scenery.
So, if you want to enjoy an amazing outing to the summit of Mount Shasta, please contact me! We´ll be glad to guide you on this unforgettable mountaineering experience!
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.
