Come join a guided winter scramble up Mt. Saint Helens. The Worm Flows Climbing route is the standard winter and spring route and provides a non-technical climb for experienced hikers craving sweet summit views and a chance to practice basic mountaineering skills. A challenging scramble at 12 miles round trip and over 5,700 ft elevation gain, our pace will be around 6 hours up and 4 hours down for an expected trip of ten hours. Plan to glissade down, we will hold a mandatory 1 hour session in the weeks leading up to the scramble where you can meet the guides and where we can provide necessary information and answer any questions (date, time TBD). You will receive an email with this information along with a packing list prior to the trip departure.
