Mt. Shasta: The Perfect Stepping Stone to an International Expedition

California’s High Sierra is Alpenglow’s favorite mountain range to climb in.

Near-endless terrain means the area is devoid of crowds, offering a unique sense of remoteness. With 14,000′ mountain peaks of impeccable granite and snow covered entrances thrusting into the sky, alpine climbing in the High Sierra has become a sacred practice to those who annually venture into its reaches. Stable weather through the summer months virtually guarantee ideal climbing temperatures during the day, while the nights bring just a little nip to make things cozy.

Fitness

Must be able to hike for multiple hours carrying a heavy pack.
