Mount St. Helens - Worm Flows Route — Sunday, Jun. 9, 2013

South Cascades > Mount St. Helens
View from the top, Rainier on the left, Adams on the right.
Departed the trailhead at 5:45am and by the time we reached the snow we had to kick our own steps most of the way. Reached the summit at 11:45 am and were back to our car by 2:45pm. The snow was very soft by 11am...too soft for crampons (microspikes would have been better) and too soft to glissade all the way down. It was a gorgeous day for a climb though! :)
Morning clouds
Swift creek was mostly dry.
Final push with views of Mt Adams and Mt Hood.
