MARCH III TO Mt. Saint Helens Climb Registration Deadline

Thursday, March 1 $134 per person Mt. Saint Helens is a popular climb for both beginning and experienced mountaineers. The crater rim is at 8,365-feet elevation so it offers an exciting and challenging climb for all. Although strenuous, this not-technical climb is suitable for people in good physical condition who are comfortable scrambling on steep, rugged terrain.

It can be summited yearround, but we will make our attempt on Saturday, May 5-Sunday, May 6, one of the most popular seasons to experience the majesty of the mountain.

To register for Mt. Saint Helens, you must have completed an Avalanche Awareness Class and an Ice Axe Skills Workshop prior to registering for the climb.
