Mount St. Helens - Worm Flows Route — Monday, May. 26, 2025

South Cascades > Mount St. Helens

Lost & Found:  One Petzl Crampon. If it is yours, reach out and I can get it back to you!

Had a fun but rainy hike up on Monday morning. The road in and the couple miles of the trail is snow free. We started at up at 6am in an attempt to get a slightly better weather window. But alas we still got rained on. Turned around at the weather station as the misery factor was getting high - no visibility, drenching drizzle. Got in a couple glissades and some practice with crampons for some friends newer to mountains. Folks were going up in just microspikes with poles, but I love me some crampons and an ice axe. We got great purchase on that softening springtime snow. Even with misty, cloudy weather, being on Helens was a stunning experience. Will return next year.
