[pct-l] Climbing Lassen
While on the subject of climbing south sister, which has a definite, well
marked trail, I highly encourage at least thinking about hiking up Mt.
Lassen. It's a bit off the PCT, but a round trip of four hours or so from
the trailhead, for those in shape.
Butt Mtn is a prelude, and nothing more. I was blown off Lassen once when
trying to hike up the trail. 60 mph winds with higher gusts made for a very
scary experience. I turned around after being blown off the trail...
