im gay posted:I'm probably an idiot but how hard is it to summit in the summer? It looked incredibly easy when I got to Muir in August and I felt like I could have kept going if I had better gear. It's not hugely technical by mountaineering standards but it is a big step up from the other big Cascade volcanoes. Standard estimate for Muir to the summit is 6-8 hours and half that back to Muir. Climbing parties do the midnight start because if a storm comes it tends to roll in in the afternoon. If you want to get a big mountain view that isn't as technical or lengthy a climb look into Mt. St. Helens or Mt. Adams. Both are non-technical climbs with amazing views. St. Helens is just a long uphill hike, and so is Adams if you have crampons and an ice axe and some minimal skill with them.
