Mount St. Helens - Worm Flows Route — Saturday, May. 6, 2023

Weather held up and able to summit today.  Large cornice on true summit so would give a good distance back (see picture).  Started at 6 am and snow pack firm and snow shoes not needed.  People hiking up in microspikes and crampons.  Nice boot pack to summit.  On way down, snow became very soft and glissading was great.  Hiking partner fell 4 feet into a hole after snow overlying rocks collapsed but luckily was not hurt. 11 hr total time including 2.5 hrs of breaks.
