Mount St. Helens - Worm Flows Route — Sunday, May. 19, 2024

Windswept and icy
Started at 4am. Icy but a bit soft. Windswept, often unable to fully kick steps. Recommend Crampons. Glissading from summit didn't feel safe due to icy conditions. people either walked or skied down. Snow got mushy further down .Saw some chutes that may have gotten used today. Didn't observe anyone glissade though. Some rocks in chutes.only glissaded a short stretch once it got flatter it was over due to soft Snow. Stay on route, there is a flag to left of wormflows on way up, which I suspect is for people to stay out avalanche area (see observation.5/17 on NWAC)
