Pushing limits: Gettin' Rad on Volcanoes

CANADA | Monday, 18 May 2015 | Views [126] | Scholarship Entry

I am an adventurous lady who loves to push the limits. When I found out there are three amazing mountains in close proximity to each other, I was immediately interested. This trip is about exploring three volcanoes, on skis, in hopes of making it to the top. Starting in Seattle, the first three days would be an expedition to Mount Shasta, with the first day arriving at base camp, second day (hopefully!) summitting, and the third day returning to reality. From their, Mount Hood would be the next destination, with a proposed two day trip to the summit and returning. After these two preparation peaks, the next and big goal of the trip would be Mount Rainier. A 3 day expedition, it would be an amazing experience to be there on this prominent peak, even if the goal of summiting is or is not acheived. With the option of a potential harder route up a different way than the classic, this peak would make for an exciting end to an incredible trip! It will not be easy, which weather conditions, camping and cooking, real life threatening mountaineering and the potential for a lot to go wrong, but the reward would be so incredible. With 2 days extra as a weather window and the return to Seattle, I believe this would be an amazing adventure to write about, and to read about!
