Saw the High-up heat wave coming and figured the low-overhead/high reward south slopes of St. Helens would provide. They did.
Leisurely 8:00 start and a moderate pace, slowed by the previous night's fire-lit activities, put us on top in time to wait out the softening and claim the last lines down. Consistent sun and intermittent wind made for superb conditions for all but a few of the 5500 feet of descent. Minimal walking, out the last 3/4 mile.

Thanks for the tip-off... Less than tech savvy. Tried imgur and TAY's internal photo stitcher to no luck. Modified the link to a "shared file" in the google's terms, should all be visible now.
Great! Thanks for the stoke!
Hi CliffedDoubt, thanks for the report. In order to get the images to show within your TR, link to each actual image file on Imgur, not the webpage for each image. To do this, change the first pic's URL inside the img tags from https://imgur.com/jLmKBCO to https://i.imgur.com/jLmKBCO.jpg instead, and similarly for the other 2 pics.
Like so for your 3 pics:

Amar, Thank you kindly for the tutorial, I knew there must be some simple step to which I was oblivious...
Thanks also for the extended info on the route conditions, glad you got out and got so much of it! I too was surprised at the amount of trail melt-out during just the few hours elapsed between ascent and descent. Sounds like the weekend was the window for maximum fun/effort.
