Troop 517 sent 6 boys and 3 adults to climb Mount St Helens on August 19th, 2006. We spent 5.5 hours on the way up and 3.5 hours on the way down. The pictures are great and the pride is massive.

8:00pm Campfire
10:00pm Lights Out
SATURDAY
Time Activity

SUNDAY
Time Activity
8:00am-9:00am Leave Base Camp
12:00pm-1:00pm Pick up sons at Church
Note that this is very doable as a two-day trip, Friday & Saturday. I've come home many times. The drawback is that legs get really stiff if you don't stop to stretch along the way. The benefit is that when you get to your bed, it feels way better than a sleeping pad.
