Talk 8 at State Episode 8: Getting Outside with Abby Hepp Transcript
Talk 8 at State Episode 8: Getting Outside with Abby Hepp Transcript Eliza Barsanti: Welcome to the department of Health and Exercise Studies’ Talk 8 at State Podcast with your host, Eliza Barsanti! EB: A couple weeks into the Fall 2020 semester, Covid-19 precautions caused NC State to put all classes online. This switch caused a lot of change in the lives of NC State students, forcing them to step out of their typical day-to-day routines in favor of something different. Abby Hepp ‘23 took this as an opportunity to go on the adventure of a lifetime-hiking, camping, and climbing her way across the United States! Today, we sit down with her to talk about her cross-country road trip, along with advice and NC State resources that students can use to get outside and craft their own adventures. EB: Okay, so today we are sitting down with Abby Hepp. Abby, would you like to introduce yourself to the podcast? Abby Hepp: Hi my name is Abby Hepp, I am majoring in Communication Media at NC State and I'm currently a sophomore. EB: Awesome! So we're going to get right into it! Today we're going to be talking about some of your adventures that you've been going on in the past few years and using to inspire other people as well, so let's start with- how did you become involved in outdoor activities and adventuring initially? AH: First of all, thank you for having me and initially will growing up, I would say my family was moderately active and you know I kind of had the typical playing outside with the neighbors childhood. -
Overview of the Geology of Mount Shasta
Overview of the Geology of Mount Shasta Geology 60 Fall 2007 William Hirt College of the Siskiyous 800 College Avenue Weed, California Introduction Mount Shasta is one of the twenty or so large volcanic peaks that dominate the High Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest. These isolated peaks and the hundreds of smaller vents that are scattered between them lie about 200 kilometers east of the coast and trend southward from Mount Garibaldi in British Columbia to Lassen Peak in northern California (Figure 1). Mount Shasta stands near the southern end of the Cascades, about 65 kilometers south of the Oregon border. It is a prominent landmark not only because its summit stands at an elevation of 4,317 meters (14,162 feet), but also because its volume of nearly 500 cubic kilometers makes it the largest of the Cascade STRATOVOLCANOES (Christiansen and Miller, 1989). Figure 1: Locations of the major High Cascade volcanoes and their lavas shown in relation to plate boundaries in the Pacific Northwest. Full arrows indicate spreading directions on divergent boundaries, and half arrows indicate directions of relative motion on shear boundaries. The outcrop pattern of High Cascade volcanic rocks is taken from McBirney and White (1982), and plate boundary locations are from Guffanti and Weaver (1988). Mount Shasta's prominence and obvious volcanic character reflect the recency of its activity. Although the present stratocone has been active intermittently during the past quarter of a million years, two of its four major eruptive episodes have occurred since large glaciers retreated from its slopes at the end of the PLEISTOCENE EPOCH, only 10,000 to 12,000 years ago (Christiansen, 1985). -
Ansel Adams by Ross Loeser February 2010
Ansel Adams By Ross Loeser February 2010 Ansel Adams is one of the most fascinating people of the 20th Century… a photography pioneer whose art captured the imagination of millions of ordinary people. Most of the information in this paper is from his autobiography – written in the last five years of his life. I found the book a joy to read. Adams (1902-1984) was born in San Francisco and lived most of his life in that area. For his last 22 years he lived in Carmel Highlands. Some key formative events in his early life were: In 1916, when he was 14, he influenced his family to go on vacation in Yosemite after reading the book, In the Heart of the Sierras by J.M. Hutchens. During that trip, he received his first camera – a Kodak Box Brownie. He returned to Yosemite every year of his life thereafter.1 He was hired as a “darkroom monkey” by a neighbor who operated a photo finishing business in 1917, which enabled him to learn about making photographic prints. As he grew up, one major focus was music – the piano. “By 1923 I was a budding professional pianist…”2 On a bright spring Yosemite day in 1927, Adams made a photograph that was to “change my understanding of the medium.” The picture was of Half Dome, and titled “Monolith, The Face of Half Dome.” The full story is included later in this paper, but, in a nutshell, he captured how he felt about the scene, not how it actually appeared (e.g. -
Chapter 23: Literature: Poetry
Mount Shasta Annotated Bibliography Chapter 23 Literature: Poetry Mount Shasta as a symbol of high ideals, as a symbol of God's domain, as a symbol of purity, and as an inspiring presence, are just some of the varied themes which run through the 19th and 20th Century poems about this majestic mountain. In 1854 John Rollin Ridge, a Cherokee Indian who later became editor of the Sacramento Bee newspaper, wrote one of the earliest Mt. Shasta poems; entitled Mount Shasta it became one of the most famous California poems. Ridge's message was one for the entire state, and the poem contains lines such as "And well this Golden State shall thrive, if like Its own Mount Shasta, Sovereign Law shall lift Itself in purer atmosphere—so high..." The well-known abolitionist poet John Greenleaf Whittier, in 1863, used Shasta as a symbol of God's works: "Amidst the glorious works of thine, The solemn minarets of Pine, And awful Shasta's icy shrine,-Where swell thy hymns from wave and gale..." Many Mt. Shasta poems are less abstract and more personal in sentiment. Joaquin Miller, who lived from 1854-57 near Mt. Shasta, and who visited many times thereafter, wrote several poems about his old home mountain. In his Shadows of Shasta poem, reprinted in this section, one sees his recurring theme of the 'Shadows,' or dark secrets, he saw inflicted on the lives of the Indians at the hands of the whites: "In the place where the grizzly reposes, Under peaks where a right is a wrong...."

Climbing Ranger Report 2019
MOUNT SHASTA Climbing Ranger Report 2019 Season summary Winter 2018/19 was fueled by generous storms resulting in a deep winter snowpack. Rangers knew this meant the 2019 spring/summer climbing season would be full of hustle and bustle. Eager parties of skiers and climbers made the trek up Mount Shasta all throughout the spring and summer. Visitors marveled in amazement as they traveled past massive walls of avalanche debris from the Valentine Day avalanche in Avalanche Gulch. We all made bets on how long the debris pile would take to melt. Winter storms continued well into May. These late season storms thwarted off many successful summits for the early contingent of climbers. The inclement weather did little to discourage climbers though and it wasn’t long before the vibrant tent city at Helen Lake took shape. Rangers erected their home away from home, a 6x7 foot canvas walled tent, on May 8th and for several weekends had to dig it out due to spring storms. Final state snow surveys in April resulted in water totals 141% of the historical average. The snow depth at Horse Camp was approximately 12 feet deep. Final snow-water equivalent came in at 61.6 inches. Theoretically, if you could melt all this snow instantaneously, over 5 feet of water would result. Mt. Shasta Area Snow Survey - April 2019 180 Current 160 Snow Current 140 Water 120 Average 100 Snow 80 Inches 60 40 20 0 A total of 6,579 summit passes were sold in 2019, only 32 above the yearly average since 1997. -

Peaks and Professors
Ann Lage • THE PEAKS AND THE PROFESSORS THE PEAKS AND THE PROFESSORS UNIVERSITY NAMES IN THE HIGH SIERRA Ann Lage DURING THE LAST DECADE OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY, a small group of adven- turesome university students and professors, with ties to both the University of California and Stanford, were spending their summers exploring the High Sierra, climbing its highest peaks, and on occasion bestowing names upon them. Some they named after natural fea- tures of the landscape, some after prominent scientists or family members, and some after their schools and favored professors. The record of their place naming indicates that a friendly rivalry between the Univer- sity of California in Berkeley and the newly established Stanford University in Palo Alto was played out among the highest peaks of the Sierra Nevada, just as it was on the “athletic fields” of the Bay Area during these years. At least two accounts of their Sierra trips provide circum- stantial evidence for a competitive race to the top between a Cal alumnus and professor of engineering, Joseph Nisbet LeConte, and a young Stanford professor of drawing and paint- ing, Bolton Coit Brown. Joseph N. LeConte was the son of professor of geology Joseph LeConte, whose 1870 trip with the “University Excursion Party” to the Yosemite region and meeting with John Muir is recounted elsewhere in this issue.1 “Little Joe,” as he was known, had made family trips to Yosemite as a boy and in 1889 accompanied his father and his students on a trip University Peak, circa 1899.
