Hi!
I've been fascinated for the last 2 weeks with Mt Shasta. I was thinking that a trip might be in order (when I finally get some vacation time that is).
I think I've extracted as much information from the web as I could and I am considering buying a guide book. I'd like to purchase a book that has more than just Mt Shasta in it and which has many routes up each mountain (not just the most popular route). I'm very visual, so plenty of pictures (with route lines) would be very appreciated. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a book? I've looked at a couple on amazon and some of the reviews really turned me off, so I wanted to ask the good people at VFTT for some advise!
Also, I was wondering if anyone had climbed Shasta on the Green Butte Ridge? From climbingmtshasta.org (I think that was the site), they say the difficulty is comparable to Avy Gulch, but should be much less travelled. Is all of this true?
Thanks!
