Climbing Mt. Shasta in a Day!

Hovering just over 14,000FT, Mt. Shasta mountain is a legendary active volcano in Northern California. Climbing (or hiking, if you can call it that) to the top in the winter and spring months requires mountaineering 7,000FT straight up through the snow and ice of Avalanche Gulch, only reaching the summit after a crawl up the infamous Misery Hill. While most people break the hike up into two days, we decided to challenge ourselves and see if we could summit Mt. Shasta in a single day. While we accounted for as many of the elements as we could, our weather forecast vastly underestimated the wind gusts at the summit, where we were forced to battle against 85 mph wind to reach the top. Type 2 fun at its finest!
DISCLAIMER: The climb to the top of Mt. Shasta is a technical route. It should not be attempted without the proper gear and experience. As always, hike at your own risk.

Again, great meeting you there! Car to car was hard but an amazing time. Shasta is a serious mountain, im 2/4 up there after last weekend, so its definitely a serious place, and I commend the effort. Great job, and again, what a pleasure, you guys are super nice and gracious (they stopped to have a conversation with me at 13k). Climb on!

@LiveHardxLoveHard 2 года назад

Bennett! Was so great running into you -- you really gave us a lot of encouragement just when we needed it, as our legs were starting wobble a bit. We were actually talking on the way down about how glad we were to run into you up there. Hope you had a great descent, and got to enjoy that incredible glissade! --A

Nice work guys! I did it in two days and I can’t imagine doing it in one and still filming haha. Super impressive

@LiveHardxLoveHard 2 года назад

Hey thanks so much Josh! I actually remember watching your Shasta vid a while back when I first started seriously looking into this climb, so thanks for the beta :) You totally understand how much filming eats up your time! But so worthwhile getting to look back and re-live the adventure. Hope you're doing well ♥️ -E

@josephregallis3394 2 года назад

@@LiveHardxLoveHard Reminds me of when I was trying to hike to the top of Humpheys Peak outside Flagstaff, AZ. The wind there was wicked above tree line! My hat blew away due to the wind. It took two attempts in 2 years but I finally made it to the top!

@w.harrison7277 2 года назад

I loved the cheerful personalities of this couple. What an extreme day and something to always be proud of. Amazing positive attitude, I could never be that way but I appreciate it in others. And I know all about this mountain and what it takes to summit, especially in a single day, very difficult. They not only displayed clear competence in the high altitude mountain environment but also the wisdom to decide during hardship whether to continue. I would trust this couple to lead me just about anywhere after seeing this.

@LiveHardxLoveHard 2 года назад

Thanks very much -- that really means a lot to us to hear that. As we've gotten into harder and harder adventures, we've been finding that keeping a positive attitude is definitely the key to success. Preparation and training are of course crucial, but when we're tired and freezing 14,000 feet up, it's the optimism and positivity that gets us through for sure!❤️

@charlesbritzman501 Месяц назад

Shasta is a harsh mistress, but even mountainous California wears a special smile up there. It’s also considered to be a “harmonic convergence” location, like Sedona. I don’t go in for all that, but when I first climbed it in ‘75, my mother had passed a couple weeks prior, and behind my goggles, I finally mourned her with honest, unselfconscious tears. So my motto became, “Mount Shasta - come for the climbing, stay for the healing”

@miguelbarreto 2 года назад

85 mph winds, Wow! and that view at the top! This is just amazing! So brave!

@LiveHardxLoveHard 2 года назад

Thanks Miguel! Ya in truth the winds at the top really caught us by surprise, because it was nowhere near 85 on the way up. There were a few big gusts, but nothing crazy until we got to Misery Hill, and then the chaos started! ❤️

@tomasr64 2 года назад

Yea, good on ya both! I did it in my 20's and suffered then. To come up to altitude, doing the drive, no sleep. Big wind! You guys fly !!⭐️⭐️

@LiveHardxLoveHard 2 года назад

Haha felt like we were going to fly right off that mountain, that’s for sure! But yeah, unless you’ve done this climb yourself, it’s hard to explain how challenging it really is, so we’re glad you understand! How was it back then, any crowds?

@chrisrichter4485 2 года назад

Of the many videos of yours that I have watched, this was the first one during which I was worried for your safety! I always know you both hike and climb safely and have turned back when conditions require, but that was some dicey wind. I'm so glad you were able to cross this off your bucket list. You both inspire me to get in shape and hike more and more!

@LiveHardxLoveHard 2 года назад

You're so right, Chris, and we felt similarly. As it turned out we handled the wind ok, but we really didn't know exactly what was going to happen once it got super fierce. Like, can wind that hard blow a big piece of ice into you and break something? We were definitely wondering about those kind of things as we got toward the top, but thankfully everything went ok. SO stoked that we're inspiring you to get out there -- that's all we need to hear to keep us motivated to keep making vids! ❤️

@Tahiristan 2 года назад

your best video yet! What I love is how raw it is and you two don't glamorize the adventure life, like how we see on social media! Makes me relate to my own adventures. love seeing new stuff as always! I hope you two keep able to climb mountains for a long, long time!!

@TheRealTomWendel Год назад

Thanks for putting this together and posting it! I’m sure it added to the work of getting up this challenging peak, but it brings it all back to those who’ve been there and introduces those who haven’t to another world. Congratulations on your persistence on a rough day! I’ve made four attempts on Shasta. All three on Avalanche Gulch were successful- one right of the Heart and through the Red Banks, one left of Heart, and one right of Heart and Red Banks. One the last one we were passed on the descent by a guy doing the one day trip as his last of the Lower 48 14ers. As we were glissading, he passed us on foot! I tried the one day effort on Clear Creek in a low snow year when Avvy Gulch was melted out. Made it above the Thumb and decided to turn back when I met the lone party above me coming down.

@LiveHardxLoveHard Год назад

Thanks Thomas, and wow 3 Shasta summits is impressive! Really love the story about the guy finishing every 14er and passing your glissade on foot 🤣. We'll def try Clear Creek at some point, and like you will not be afraid to turn if conditions aren't right. ❤️

You two are crazy, so I’d expect to see you guys there😆🥰🏔, but to see so many others-that was a surprise! Again, congrats and many thanks from me and other oldsters for dragging us along! Love you both!

You're so right, Carolyn -- Shasta is just absolutely beautiful, and it's strange that it doesn't get more notoriety from the climbing community. Very cool that you hang out up there. We definitely want to go back just to hang out, vacation, and hike at some point because the whole area is gorgeous and the little town of Shasta is also adorable! ❤️

@nakiamarion1783 2 года назад

You two never cease to amaze me! What an insane climb with incredible views! Thank you for bringing us along! Hyping yourselves up on hikes is essential lol. I always go that slow up steep inclines because I'm not built for speed but my motto is to just keep pushing and tell myself you are stronger than you think (if it's safe to keep going of course).

@LiveHardxLoveHard 2 года назад

Thank you so much Nakia! We've both learned that being your own hype man, though it seems ridiculous, is actually such an important quality to have, both on and off trail. As I started doing harder and harder climbs, I soon learned that doubting myself was a surefire way to make the whole ascent miserable. It's way more fun to pump yourself up, and I find that it carries into the real world and helps me face different kinds of adversity or negativity. It's one of the many beautiful things I've gotten to learn from these mountains! ♥️ -E

Hi Adam & Elise. A friend of mine show me all your RU-vid hikes and I was hooked. I’m a hiker but a relax pace one. I have Asthma so elevation and heat cause me to hike a little slower than average person. But it never stop me from hiking because I love nature. Seeing most of your videos gave me an inspiration to strive harder on my hikes. I know most of the places you guys been, I couldn’t do but your videos make me feel I’m there with you. Thank you for sharing and thank you for including us to be part of your adventure. Looking forward on seeing more of your hikes. You both are truly inspirational.

Wow! You guys are amazing badasses! One of the most strenuous day hikes you can do! You're in another part of my woods, as I lived near Mt Shasta for many years, and explored all sides of the mountain, even seeing the mythical buck once. Seeing your video brought back some wonderful memories and views from on high.

@LiveHardxLoveHard 2 года назад

Steve that is so cool -- we were looking all over for wildlife but didn't see anything other than a couple of gliding birds! But still, even just the terrain was incredibly beautiful -- glad we could bring it back for you, and hopefully will be going back up there for some more exploring in the future. We really loved it! ❤️

@steveduffy5784 2 года назад

@@LiveHardxLoveHard There's a lot of anomalies around Mt Shasta and the mythical buck is one of them. There's many reports from hunters shooting at it and it dissapears. The day I saw it I was exploring a ridge line to see how far up it I could go. I was around 11,500ft well above the tree line and stopped for lunch, just out of the wind, in a small group of rocks. As I was sitting there I heard some small rocks going down the side of the ridgeline and looked up to see the most magnificent buck I'd ever seen. My first thought was this is the Arnold Schwarzenegger of bucks! I went into my backpack to get my camera and by the time I looked back up it was no where in sight. I could see the whole area and it just completely disappeared. Another of those magic, unexplainable moments on the mountain!

Loved this one. Back in the 80's I owned and flew my own twin engine airplane and I used to fly right over the top of Mount Shasta, and a couple of times I banked a steep hard turn to circle around the top super close to just check out how beautiful the mountain peak was. What a gorgeous mountain. Thanks for your hard work producing such a great video. More, more, more !!!

@LiveHardxLoveHard 2 года назад

Wow David that is so cool -- what a view that must have been of Shasta! We were truly amazed by the "airliner" views from the top, where we felt like we could actually see the curvature of the earth. Very glad you enjoyed this one, and lots more coming. We leave this weekend for a full month in Europe adventuring through the Alps and Dolomites!! ❤️

@crooked-halo Год назад

I just did the drive south on I-5 through southern Oregon & north California, the most beautiful drive this Texan has ever done. I have a commercial cert & instrument rating and when I saw Mount Shasta and the Shasta Valley my first thought was to find an FBO & a CFI, and rent a plane to circle Shasta and fly through the valley. Time wouldn't allow, but I'll be back to do this.

We weren't sure if maybe their goal was only to climb to Red Banks in the first place, or if they turned due to the high winds and/or altitude sickness.

Adam did have a pop tart with him and the summit would have been a great place to eat it, but unfortunately our faces were so frozen above about 12,000 feet that we couldn't chew anything at all. Adam put a few jelly beans in his mouth but couldn't chew them even a little -- he just had to let them dissolve 🥶. But in the end, it just made the adventure that much more memorable.

Hi Elise and Adam, I watched this for the second time - such a range of emotions showing through in the video: anticipation, foreboding, anxiety, fear, physical exhaustion, exhilaration at summiting, and finally fun at glissading down Mount Shasta. This is perhaps your most emotional video yet! Congratulations! Btw, Humphreys Peak will be a breeze for you.

Blessings and safety always 🙏

Amazing! So glad you made it..... and in one day yet!! I used to live in Mt Shasta .... did the hike from Bunny Flat to Horse Camp where the stone building is. Mt Shasta ....so worth to hike on and enjoy time there. And so it is to live there. Thank you so much you put this together ... uplifting and incredibly enticing to consider to hike there again. Liked that it was good to see how to hike in crampons.

Thanks so much -- what a lovely place to live! You must have enjoyed that a lot. We hope you will hike that route again, maybe even all the way to the top. Don't let that horrible wind that we encountered deter you.

My wife and I attempted Avalanche Gulch and turned around in 2017. In 2021, we returned to try again, but it was a low snow year and Avalanche Gulch was melted out in June, so we successfully summited Via Clear Creek Route. We did have fun on Clear Creek, but we still want to go up Avalanche Gulch. I am hoping we might find the time to attempt it this year. I was looking at videos for Shasta and ended up on your channel. I've now subscribed and watched quite a few of your videos, they are great, and I think I'll keep watching.

Lol at the "Type 2 fun at its finest" in the description. I love how you guys really show all the emotions (anxiety, overcoming said anxiety, hyping yourself up) that hiking/mountaineering can stir up. Elise, I do both of those tricks (and more) while out. I live in Ridgecrest so most of my hikes are in wind. (Death Valley and Eastern Sierra's). You guys are so rad!!!

@LiveHardxLoveHard 2 года назад

Haha! On the drive back I was thinking WOW that was sooo many hours of type 2 fun! 😂 I recently discovered those anxiety/stress reduction techniques and so happy I did. I do struggle with anxiety in general, and adding in the rapid heart rate up there I always run the risk of a panic attack, so it's something I've been trying really hard to work through. Would love to know what other strategies you use out there, and what climbs you might recommend in the Eastern Sierra!

@mariceladaini9304 2 года назад

@@LiveHardxLoveHard There is Cirque Peak, Independence Peak, Owens, Scodie Mountains, and Mt. Heckel that are very Type 2. Lol. But they are fun! Langley is also very fun and relatively easier to get permits than Whitney. Another de-stressor technique I use when I start to feel anxious is to practice "rooting" ( yes even on a steep mountain). I pretend that roots are extending from my feet into the ground below me . Sometimes, if I'm feeling particularly brave and am not in a risky place I will try to time or wait for my panic attack. I know it sounds weird, but for me it works.

I LOVED seeing this (though pretty scary at times)! I had a feeling you would go to Mt. Shasta soon. My partner, I, and a private guide climbed the Hotlum-Bolam Ridge (north side) a year ago. Like Elise, Mt. Shasta was on the top of my bucket list. Due to the high winds, low visibility, exposed glacier, and my minimal mountaineering experience, we topped at 13,200+ ft before turning back. Still, it felt extremely special being there. We were the only ones on the north side for the entire time we were there! I wanted to make it out again this year buuut I got pregnant. Lol We’re going on a safer backpacking trips instead.

@LiveHardxLoveHard 2 года назад

OMG that is so badass to come up that way! Now of course we want to try it too!! Very smart that you turned back with high winds and low visibility. Our visibility was perfect but even just the winds were almost enough to turn us around.

I was nervous for you using hiking poles till I finally saw you using your ice axe going up towards the Red Banks. Great adventure.

@LiveHardxLoveHard 2 года назад

Thanks Robert! The one day push was definitely intense haha, but with our crazy work schedules it was the only way we could get it done. Plus it made for a great challenge! Yeah we were reassessing the pole vs ice axe decision constantly but in that particular part of the climb the poles were so helpful in propelling us up. The axe def came in handy later and would not have done this climb without it. So glad you’ve gotten to experience this mountain for yourself! ❤️

@robertturner1308 2 года назад

livehardxlovehard Did you see on Monday a female guide just died on Mt. Shasta and two of her clients who she was roped up with were also hurt from a fall all on Avalanche Gulch? Later that same day more people got hurt from very long falls and had to be airlifted out. I guess it was super icy due to a recent storm. When I did it in 202O I saw someone fall a long way on the descent down Avalanche Gulch and I was so shaken. I did not fully understand the danger till I saw that. Took me awhile to even feel safe to glissade. Glad you two made it safely. Still love Mt. Shasta and your video is great. Just hope folks be careful.
