Don't Do This to Summit Mt. Shasta

[@ChadLubinski]

Are you planning a Mt. Shasta summit soon?? And if you've summited before, how'd it go? 2 things I left out: 1. I talked to two different people that did a one day ascent and ended up taking a nap at the summit because they were so exhausted lol 2. This is the worst sunburn I've ever received. Wait till next week's video 💥 OUTDOOR PLANNER & ITINERARY TEMPLATE Prioritize adventure, plan adventures all in ONE place, and stop forgetting gear! chadlubinskiinc.thrivecart.com/planner/?ref=youtube

[@ApeMan]

This just reaffirms that we made the decision to camp halfway up and do it in 2 days. Might help with acclimatization too. It was still a grind! Congrats!

[@ChadLubinski]

2 days is for sure the best way! Wasn’t that fun in 1 haha. Thanks for watching man!

[@roxannemacias2626]

Good job, glad you stayed the night and rested before a push to summit. That is wisest for most.

[@plutoplatters]

I like how you said you had no mystic lemurian encounters.

[@ChadLubinski]

@@plutoplatters right

[@lightwalker4558]

Congratulations on summiting and descending safely! Very nice footage and narration too. Thank you! 😊

[@ChadLubinski]

Hey thanks for watching!! Sorry for there not being many clips… didn’t feel to well 😅

[@lightwalker4558]

@@ChadLubinski No need to appologize as shorter videos are "in" these days. 😉

[@ChadLubinski]

@@lightwalker4558 Funny you say that! I've been trying to really "trim the fat" with my video's to respect yall's time haha

[@perrysims3320]

NARRATION??? Calling MY mountain a "dumb ass". Fugg-off...tourist. Don't bother to come back. The Sisson History Project.

Misery hill lives up to the name!

[@ChadLubinski]

hahaha absolutely

[@okokokok987]

I didn't think Misery Hill was aptly named, at all! It was a nice, steady, gentle uphill walk, not at all like from Helen Lake to the Red Banks, where I took about five steps, stopped to breathe heavily, took five more steps, etc. When I went thru the Red Banks and arrived at the base of Misery Hill, it was an easy walk to the Summit from there. One of the great days in my life! This was many years ago, in mid-October, dry all the way except for the level summit snowfield.

[@Patrick-lx4gy]

I descended Shasta is a little over an hour. It’s really an easy mountain to climb. No boulder hopping, no lakes. It’s a breeze

[@ChadLubinski]

You’re my hero Patrick

[@Patrick-lx4gy]

@@ChadLubinski if you have not yet climb Longs peak in Rocky Mountain national park, it is a must do. Super exposed! It’s my favorite fourteener by far. Not too difficult either

[@ChadLubinski]

@@Patrick-lx4gy I’ll check it out, hell yeah!

[@markmaher665]

What time did you start in the morning? Total time car to car? Thanks for the great footage and comments!!!

[@ChadLubinski]

Hey thanks Mark!! We started pretty late.. 415 😐

[@jackcunnison5853]

Damn that looks miserably fun

[@ChadLubinski]

Type 2 fun on the head!

[@Castellanos334]

I just drove by Shasta heading to the trinity alps, I still have not climbed it yet.

[@ChadLubinski]

The Trinity Alps look DOPE

[@Castellanos334]

@@ChadLubinski I just found out they have a long trail there that i barely known, it's called the bigfoot trail.

[@ChadLubinski]

@@Castellanos334 gonna look into that..thanks dude!

[@DREXELENG2015]

You went up on the 17th? I have been watching the weather reports, and it has been showing 60-70mph winds and -30f temps. Is the report incorrect? Looks like the weather was mellow? I made a one day attempt on April 2nd, but bailed shortly after Helen lake, because the wind was too strong. Looking to try again ASAP.

[@ChadLubinski]

Nah we went April 7! We had been watching the weather too… absolutely crazy wind speeds the days proceeding and after

[@DREXELENG2015]

@@ChadLubinski Thanks, wanted to make sure the report wasn't wrong and I was missing the window for the climbing season. Congrats on the summit!

[@ChadLubinski]

@@DREXELENG2015 nope you’re good! I think they have snow down to the parking lot too now

[@karanbirchahal3268]

I tried a one day yesterday, kicked my ass bailed at helen lake. The climb was okay u til then but I was just falling asleep because I had 1 hr of sleep in me before starting at 1 am. Get a good 8 hrs sleep if you’re gonna do a 1 day ascent !

[@ChadLubinski]

Yeah man it’s a brutal climb. Altitude doesn’t help haha

[@dant3113]

how would you compare this to Mountaineers Route Mt Whitney? I'm planning on this summit next month

[@ChadLubinski]

While I’ve done Whitney, I haven’t done the actual mountaineers route so not sure!

[@dant3113]

@@ChadLubinski Got it. personally I think Whitney Trail is easy but Mountaineers routes is actually hard. How much harder than Whitney trail would you say it is

[@ChadLubinski]

@@dant3113 well it’s apples to oranges. I was on the JMT when I did Whitney, and barely brought any gear up with me because I base camped in Crabtree. No snow either. This one I had skis, crampons, helmet.. so much more weight. But yeah Shasta was definitely more difficult and more technical. Same type of altitude sickness tho

[@dant3113]

@@ChadLubinski got it 👍. Thanks

[@healthcoachadrian]

What month was this in? I’m trying to see if late June is still a good time to go for the summit. Didn’t get to make it in may!

[@ChadLubinski]

This was early April believe it or not! They did get a bunch of snow about a week after I went that got it back down to the parking lot. Don't know about recently though.

[@Colieolieoh]

Nice work!

[@ChadLubinski]

Hey thank you!!

[@jessenattrass3107]

Congrats on your summit. Did this take place this season already? Where's the snow?

[@ChadLubinski]

Hey thank you very much! Yup, this was just last weekend. Terrible snow year

[@yangliu_6688]

Nice video! I'm doing it this weekend. questions: which route did you take to redbanks? did you go to the left or right of the the heart? how did you decide which route to take?

[@ChadLubinski]

Sorry for this late reply..for some reason I didn't see this comment. Howd your climb go?

[@yangliu_6688]

@@ChadLubinski it was great! I went to the right of the heart and immediately took the first chute up the redbanks area. The weather was beautiful! I was the only one camped at Helen lake the night before so that was a bit weird!

[@Zane5804]

What time did you start from the parking lot?

[@ChadLubinski]

A little after 4am I believe

[@Foxyfreedom]

I prefer doing the one day push. Only because I get hypothermia at Helen lake and hate boiling snow for water.

[@ChadLubinski]

bro totally get the hate boiling snow for water lmao its the worst

[@Foxyfreedom]

@@ChadLubinski yea that was my first time doing that. Hypothermia and dehydration is no joke. They feed off each other.
