This is a place where many people either build snow caves for shelter or set up tents to survive the night at around 10,000 feet on Mt. Shasta. My method of climbing was lighter in 1970. I took only a little food and an ice axe and crampons in August 1970 and spent the night at Horse Camp Sierra Club Emergency Lodge outside at around 8000 feet at tree line (where trees stop growing at that altitude) and left my gear there and picked it up when I returned about 5 pm the next day. My climb started at about 2:30 AM because I got cold then in August 1970 because my sleeping bag wasn't warm enough. So, I began climbing just to warm up. I climbed slowly because I had a "Burning Bush" experience and didn't summit until after noon or later. Then I used my ice axe as a brake and slid down part of the way in the snow on a sheet of plastic at around 20 to 30 miles per hour using the ice axe as a brake. But, remember my method isn't for everyone and sometimes there is no snow or the conditions aren't right to do what I did. When you are climbing up it is better if it is dark because otherwise you might sink into the snow in the sun and wear yourselves out. Because you cannot wear snowshoes much when it gets too steep. Only Crampons and an ice axe will work most of the time above 10,000 feet.
So, if you are climbing in the summer climb in the dark to prevent sinking into the snow if there is snow. Otherwise, if there is no snow then you have to worry about rockfalls which can be fatal if a little pebble gets loose above you from higher climbers and it comes down as something the size of your fist or bigger. If something that size hits you in the face or head when you don't see it coming you are just toast and that's all. So, listen for rock fall if there isn't snow above 10,000 feet where you are climbing if you are climbing up from Horse Camp. If you are doing a winter or spring climb watch out for avalanches of snow which tend to happen mostly between about February and May up at that altitude because there are no trees. IF you are caught in an Avalanche you might not be found until the snows melt (that year or another). So, be mindful of the time of year you are climbing mt. Shasta. A couple of avalanches have gone all the way down the mountain to about 5000 feet and taken out many trees along the way in the past, so be careful during the time of year there are snow avalanches.
