Top 15 in Top 15 best volcanic climbing places in the world.
St Helens volcano with widespread destruction when active
A permit is required to hike up this active volcano, regardless of the time of year, and only a few permits are issued each year if you want to reach the top of the crater. Although specialized climbing techniques are not required, it is strenuous and has potential hazards such as ice, loose boulders and fast-changing weather. The view at the top is described as "surreal, incredible and inspiring". A huge crater with a dome that grows every year, with horseshoe-shaped glaciers all around, not to mention the amazing nature of Mount Adams, Mount Hood and Mount Rainier, and the green hills that surround them are all perfect sights. This is truly one of the best climbing places in the world that should be at the top of your climbing list.
