+Shasta is tall! 14,179ft, almost as tall as Rainier.
+
+Recommendations: alpine starts (hiking ~4-5am), helmet, avalanche
+beacon/probe/shovel.
+
+Best times: May through mid-July. 2019 seems like it will be below-avegage
+snow, but not bad, and better than the recent droughts.
+
+4:40 hour drive from San Francisco (downtown).
+
+### Avalanche Gulch Route
+
+Most popular. Start at Bunny Flat trailhead (6940ft), which is plowed/clear all
+year (!).
+
+### West Face Route
+
+### Clear Creek Route (East Side)
+
+This route is actually pretty appealing, sounds like fewer people take it in
+early season. The main risk/issue would be road access in the snow. Seems less
+avalanche dangerous, which means a snowier/earlier attempt would be possible.

+## Scratch / Notes
+
+Should do a >10k ft snow climb to train, also any altitude hiking/climbing
+probably good.
