General Conditions

Rangers have not been on the Bolam Glacier this year. That said, the conditions are going to be much the same as conditions on the Hotlum Glacier and others. That is, most crevasses snow bridged over. As we move into the warmer months of summer, snow bridges become weak and the chances of falling through increase. The Bolam Glacier is small and not often traveled. It offers peace and solitude and is another great route on Mt Shasta offering amazing views of Shastina and the Shasta Valley. Feel free to call the climbing rangers for specific questions.
