Mt St Helens

[Patrick Fink]

Peter Innes and I gave the worm flows route on Mt St Helens a speed jab today with a mix of running and power hiking under mostly sunny skies. We went parking lot to summit 1:35:47. Car to Car 2:49:58. 10.4 mi, 5600′. I can't find any information on a St Helens climb FKT. Any information appreciated.

It would be hard to find this much steep gravel anywhere closer to Portland. Recommended for the fast and the stupid.

On July 26th 2014, I hiked/ran St. Helens with my friend Martin Mudry. We took the Monitor Ridge and posted a time of 1:23 from the parking lot to the crater, and 1:28 to the current true summit.

Sorry, make that 1:29 to the summit.
