I made an attempt for the summit of Mount Shasta during middle May, but had to turn around halfway up Avalanche Gulch due to 1) poor snow conditions leading to constant uphill shin to knee-deep post-holing, and 2) poorly fitted boots that were cutting deep blisters into my heels. The weather would have been perfect at the summit that day, but it was not to be. Nevertheless, this was a good early season test of equipment and endurance, and I still got plenty of vert and views, so not all was lost.
