Mount St Helens South Face

The South Face of Mount St. Helens in Southwest Washington is actually part of PMR's operational area. The famous Cascade volcano is only 8,364 feet above sea level, but is still a popular non-technical climb. Though the mountain does not present the dangers of other area Cascades, the sheer volume of novice climbers on the peak can sometimes present a higher level of risk.
