Context

Strategulin Shasta in the Cascade Mountains is rising over 4300 feet and has no adequate tourist path directly to the summit: all routes are being run by a strict wild high mountain without waste. The great danger on the slopes is the glaciers, such as the Winny Glacier, the longest in California, which is the beginning under the cool Missuer Hill and the concentrated deep cracks and glaciers.

The U.S. forest and the local lava center are warning that even in the classic roof of weather conditions can suddenly change storm winds from the Pacific, so to safely move to the snow-ice relief center requires special alpine gear, such as cats and ice shafts.
