Climbed MSH today (May 30, 2021). My first summit of MSH and my 100th summit overall (which I did not plan). Started at 3:30am, summited at 8am, back at the TH at 11:33pm.

Did Worm Flows climbing route from Marble Mountain Sno Park. I stayed the night in Cougar, WA and there was plenty of parking when I got to the TH at 3am. Patchy snow started about 1.3 miles in, but I only needed boots. Put on crampons and got out my ice ax just below the weather/met station. Snow was solid all the way up. A large cornice was along the rim and I did not feel safe traversing over to the true summit which had a pile of snow on top. I was the first to reach the summit (I think that’s a first for a major mountain). Snow was still very firm on the way down and I opted not to glissade. It softened up around 9:30am, but I was already back at the weather station taking off my crampons. Perfect weather! Could not have asked for a better day.
