Permit Fee Structure

• All Mount St. Helens climbing permits are sold as advance purchase through an on-line vendor.
• The MSHI on-line vendor is a secure website that accepts all major credit and debit cards. Climbers will be emailed a confirmation receipt at the time of purchase.
• There is a $15.00 fee for each climbing permit, plus a service charge of $7.00. The total cost is $22.00 per complete climbing permit.
• If climbing is suspended by the Forest Service, permit sales will also be suspended. People who already purchased permits may receive a refund for only their ($15.00) permit fee. However, the service charge ($7.00) is not refundable. Please plan accordingly.
• On-line registration is advance purchase. Do not wait until the day of your climb to purchase your permit.
• Climbers will use their emailed confirmation receipt to obtain their actual permit at the Climbers Register, located at the Lone Fir Resort during store business hours. Trip leaders are asked to pick-up their entire groups permits. All climbers need to read and sign their permits and abide by all permit conditions. The business hours at Lone Fir Resort are adjusted seasonally. It is very important climbers visit or call ahead to verify.
