Not a ton of info except for bad conditions causing multiple different falls including the death of a guide.

One of our friends was on Shasta May 26-30 and they lost their tents on the 27th and had to regroup then take a different route up the mountain. They were able to summit on May 30th, but it was not an easy trip. Happy they made it safe up and down the mountain.
Consecutive months with at least one 13er or 14er, 72 months
