Mount Shasta

| Went up a small portion of
Mt. Shasta, Sept. 3, 2000 |
| Mount Shasta is 6.5 hours north from San Jose, CA.
It's quite a climb at about 8,000 ft in elevation with the summit at 14162 ft. We ended
up doing only about 2 hours worth of climbing on that day. One of these days, we'll
make it into a 2 day trip (it normally takes 9-10 hours to get to the top). |

Unfortunately, it was overcast on the day we went.
The clouds hung right on top of our heads. |

Much needed rest |

| The others wouldn't admit it, but I felt the effects of the
higher altitudes. It was a lot easier to get tired. Mt. Shasta has snow-capped
peaks all year around. |
