04-17-2016-Bolam Glacier

Rangers have not been on the Bolam Glacier this year. The Bolam bergshrund is only a crease at this point in the season. This glacier does not host much for an icefall and also does not have many crevasses. That said, don't let your guard down. As always, warm spring/summer temps will weaken existing snow bridges on any glacier.  The Bolam Glacier is small and not often traveled. It offers peace and solitude and is another great route on Mt Shasta offering amazing views of Shastina and the Shasta Valley. Feel free to call the climbing rangers for specific questions. This route will not change conditions much more and not be updated often for the remainder of the season.
