Thanks for sharing your well detailed trip report. Trip reports like yours are the best thing about Summitpost. Bummer about your knee! I'm sure you're finding that the orthopedists can work miracles these days on knee repairs but you'll still have to out of climbing for a while. Most important, CONGRATULATIONS on summitting Shasta! I've tried four times and still no summit yet.
Added in some photos after making the front page on this site. Thank you editors! And Rick thanks for the congrats. You'll get there one of these days, Shasta is fickle with her weather.

Re: Your main photo..Yeah, I've contacted them and asked to have it changed. I'd rather have my own photo used. :)
