Climbing
- Excerpt from Climbing Mt. Shasta - Casaval Ridge route, (the favorite winter route) accessible from
Bunny Flat, is one of the favorites among all climbers with its jagged, rocky spires
overlooking Avalanche Gulch to the south and Hidden Valley to the north. This is an
alternate route and is used in the winter when Avalanche Gulch is under extreme avalanche
danger. During the summer, Casaval's rocky spires become too unstable for the climber to
be below them. |
