Ever fancy what it would be like to summit a 14,180ft peak?  Right here in our extended backyard is Mt. Shasta, the second highest peak in the state of California.  NASTC and our newest partner Ski Madness – Mexico will be running a 3-day expedition style trip up Shasta.  Chris Fellows will be leading the group along with fellow guide Dane Brinkley.  The group will climb up to basecamp on Day 1.  There will be a mountaineering skills refresher in the afternoon.  Day 2 will be an acclimation day, the group will do a couple of short climbs, and learn how to work together as a team as well as how to walk together on a rope line.  Day 3 is Summit Day, the goal is to reach the summit before noon and then ski down as a group back to basecamp.  This will be an exciting trip, stay tuned for details and pics.
