Mount St. Helens - Worm Flows Route — Saturday, Feb. 14, 2015
South Cascades > Mount St. Helens
We left for Cougar, WA on Friday from Seattle area around 6PM. We reached the Lone Fir motel around 10PM. By 3.00 AM, we were on trail hiking toward the summit. The road to the Marble Mount Snow Park is completely snow-free and so is the trail until you get to around 5000 ft. Since we started early, the snow was very firm and above 7500 ft, it was solid ice. The route follows the thin line between the Swift Glacier and Dryer Glacier. At that time only one other climber was trying to summit. Our party of 5 made it to the top without issues. On our way back, the snow was very soft and every step I took was going in at least 10 inches and there were around 50 climbers going up.
