Fun discussion topic! We are doing the Mountaineers Route in the week before Memorial day, and Shasta the week after Memorial Day. We've been up the Mountaineer's route before and summitted Rainier a couple times etc., but I do have a couple questions for the knowledgeable crew here:
- We did Mountaineer's Route as a 1 day option, and found that enjoyable for us. Any thoughts on a similar plan for Shasta? I sure like light loads, and avoiding a tent/sleeping bag when possible!

-How much more technical/difficult is a ridge (Casaval/Sargents/Green Butte)? We like aesthetic climbs (and avoiding crowds), but don't want to be over our heads...

Thanks all!
