  1. Trip: Mount Adams - Adams Glacier

    Trip Date: 06/11/2019

    Trip Report:

     

    Went for a night out to the Adams Glacier for a go at things. Just wanted to share a few notes. The road between Divide Camp TH and Killen Creek TH is nearly melted out and has one rutted snow patch passable with a decent clearance ride.  There's still decent snow cover for most of the second half of the approach to High Camp. From the base of of the Adams Glacier we noticed a disconnected block above the left traverse exit out the top of the route. As the sun rose we saw light shinning through the sides and underneath the block. So we opted for climbing ice in some crevasses instead. There was a decent amount of ice fall and rockfall activity while we hung out on the glacier yesterday until about 1300hrs.  If anyone heads out here over the next year for the Adams glacier any notes on the block above the left exit traverse would be appreciated. 

    Gear Notes:
    Pickets, ice tools and screws, rope, harness, no snow flotation devices, suncreen, hot tub.

    Approach Notes:
    Walk trail to snow and then find your way.

  2. we could all just stop the judgement yeah? Marc had the fire back in 2009 when we attempted Slesse’s Nav Wall.  Incidents happen has this thread notes in every activity.  But, tie in as an emotional being and concern and care rises no matter the incident or result of the incident.  Not sure why I decided look at CC.com but I did.  Oh well.  But here is a photo of Marc in front of Slesse 2009 with a few words I put as an overlay.

  3. The publisher is formatting pages whilst I still hope to find someone with recent climbing pics on the Eliot HW route. Absent that hero (Doug Beardsley where are you?) the book will not include that route and we will go to press when the publisher is ready.

     

    That's why Neptune doesn't have it yet.... :rocken:
