- In March I climbed Shasta up Casaval Ridge and skied down Avalanche Gulch. I opted to do this climb in a 1 day push, which proved to seriously kick my butt! ~7500 ft of climbing over 12 miles total. While this mountain is not too technically difficult, it took every thing I had on en endurance level.

Beautifully filmed! I appreciate all the extra effort that went into self-filming on such a long and demanding route.
Thanks! and yes, The mountain kicked my butt, but double backing to get some of those shots certainly didn't help haha. Worth it though!
Awesome job man. This mountain is a ton of work! Congratulations to you and whoever broke trail.
And skiied cement on the way down. That was a beast. Looked like Mammoth's cement snow that thaws and re freezes. Fields of powder would be the dream....such a beautiful mountain.
Nice work with the route and the filming! Looking forward to more of your vids.
Thanks! It might be a little while with everything shut down, but hopefully sooner rather then later!
@@MountainMontage I agree carrying skis, mountaineering gear and filming on top is a lot of work! WELL DONE!!!
👍🙏
Nice
I live in Shastina.
Great post
"It's still so far away!" The top of Misery Hill. One of the most disheartening moments of any climb of Mt. Shasta.
Thanks for the video man. Hoping to try the ridge this year on a good riding day (down the gulch as well)
Amazing effort, great vid
Great job and great video. I hoped to do Casaval for the first time this spring (I’ve summitted on 3 other routes) but it will have to wait until 2021.
yes, unfortunately it looks like a lot of my objectives will have to wait as well. but the mountains will always be there!
Thanks brother for this video. just what I was looking for.
Im glad you found it!
That was amazing. Great climb and then ski. Amazing.
Thanks! It was an awesome climb
Took my butt 20 and 1/2 hours via Clear Creek trail. The scree was a pain to go up and even though I didn't have the fun luxury of skiing, the loose ground made it easy on the the joints going down. Cool vid.
dude you filmed that all solo? well done, one of the nicer climb films of Shasta.
yes, it was a bit of extra work, but I enjoy it, haha! Thank you
I attempted a climb up it last june when i was 13 but i didnt make it to the top because i dont have very good endurance, and it was over 2 days. im impressed that you did it in one day as well
It wasn't easy! She is a big mountain
Awesome!
good edit! solid beta
Great video man- Do you carry your ski boots separately in your pack and are you using an AT setup?
AT set up, I skinned up the first bit in the dark, Probably could have skinned more but it was just easier to not switch back and forth once I put my skis on my back
Good stuff man! Looking forward to hitting this up in a few weeks via Avy Gulch. Wondering what the snow coverage is like. Was this shot recently?
The was late March, so I cant say about current conditions
Same, man! leaving next week. I have beta from a friend who did it last weekend, and said snow was good down to a little below helen lake, so I'd assume this weekend you'll still get to ski down to helen.
@@FreerunTMac Good luck! 🤘✌
Thanks for that. You had great weather (despite poofy clouds). What time of year were you up there?
Mid March
well not as technical as Devil's Kitchen Headwall V1... LOL Did you like the route? Did you bring enough calories?
Yea, technically speaking it was a walk in the park comparatively, though snow conditions were pretty nice and that can make a big difference. there was some 50 degree spots. Though Shasta required every once I had on an endurance level! I had enough calories (its harder to eat I high elevation) but not enough water. I forgot one of my liters of Gatorade I mean to bring, so I was running out 2/3 of the way up. supplemented by melting some snow but it certainly added a bit of extra time. I would recommend 5 liters or just bring a stove and plan to stop. Overall its a cool mountain, and it was a fun route. I will go back someday for sure.
aw yeah impreza outback sport boiiii
Oh yea, we've been through a lot together! Haha
Did you need to use ski crampons while you were skinning?
How long did the ascending take?
Took me about 12-13 hrs to reach the summit.
WHO TOOK THE VIDEO OF YOUR CLIMBING ? OR HOW YOU DO IT
I video myself... set up the camera, and climb and then go back and grab it. its a bit of extra work, but it makes for a better video!
Thanks, because I can't get that high.
Cool video hard to hear you over the music
Where is the down video ?
I skied down mostly in a white out (not much to see, and also camera glitched out) and then it was dark for the rest of my ski down minus the little bit I showed... lol ill have to go back
