During all of 2022, there were a total of 11 SAR incidents on Mt. Shasta, about half of the running average of 20 incidents per year since 1992. Eight of the incidents were rescues, one a self-rescue, and one a false alarm (false inReach activation). There were zero climber searches for the season. Following a very light winter for snowfall, March was not looking good for the climbing season, but April snowstorms gave a last-minute boost to climbing conditions. (Source: U.S. Forest Service Mt.
