thanks Steve.. WillieTheDog for inputs.

Yeah, planning on attempting Shasta in the next month or so...via Avalanche Gulch. Not sure what to expect. Did a solo day trip last year and summited Whitney July via the chute and was just wondering how Shasta in comparison. The chute wasn't too bad last year.

Given that there is no real trail on Shasta, not too sure what to expect. Easy to follow though even though no real trail?
