Went on a Mother's day hike to Mt.St.Helens. Took the winter route which starts at 2650 and ends at 8300 ft. After climbing upto 6800 ft turned back as it was already 1pm and I would not have made the remaining 1500 ft by the turn around time of 2pm. While coming down glissaded almost 1000 ft
Time taken to go up for 4200 ft vertical gain: 5 hrs ; to go down: 3 hrs, 30 pound backpack
Mother's day at Mt.St. Helens has a tradition where people dress up in dresses, skirts, fascinators and head pieces. this includes both men and women. Was very entertaining seeing 800 people today on the mountain in dresses.
