I would try cascade climbers as well, and www.oregonhikers.org/ I would say your chances for bad weather are greater in October. But it can be cooler. I usually wait for cooler weather for hiking AROUND St Helens. I know it is considered easier to go in winter when there is snow. I wondered if St Helens might have the same problem as Rainier (going to Camp Muir) in that the parts that have snow year round actually becomes very icy when it melts down. This thread seems to say so, though it was probably new ice since it was right after leaving treeline? cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/1113485/TR_Mt_St_Helens_Monitor_Ridge_#Post1113485 |
