Mount St. Helens - Worm Flows Route — Saturday, May. 11, 2013

South Cascades > Mount St. Helens

Our first Mother's Day Weekend climb of Mt St Helens was fantastic. We hit the trail at 4:05 AM to beat the traffic. There was a record 685 permits issued for the day. We hiked in our boots most of the way up the trail from the Sno park and at about 2.25 miles we added microspikes. It was warm and the snow was a little juicy in places, but it was great for climbing for the most part. We arrived at the summit at 9:35 and hung out at the top until 10:00. We glissaded down below 4900 ft. We arrived back at the trailhead at 12:20.
