  • St. Helens to reopen for climbs on July 21 2006-Jul-08 00:00 from The Seattle Times

    For the first time since a new eruptive phase began back in September 2004, Mount St. Helens will again be open to climbers starting July 21.

    Federal officials will allow as many as 100 climbers per day to tackle the south-side route that leads to the edge of the summit crater.

    There climbers can get a look at an active — albeit relatively peaceful — eruption of magma that has been continually making its way to the surface.
