Well, we didn't need much. The climbing was pretty solid all around, a loose rock here and there but that is life. As far as how we went, it was mostly class 4 I would say. But there were a ton of mini variations one could take up there, so it all depends on your route choice I think. Sorry for the most vague answer ever.

Climb: Guye Peak-South Rib Date of Climb: 3/13/2004 Trip Report: So my partner and I got ourselves going up the mountain about 7am and had a pretty rad day. We moved pretty well until the sun came out and made some mush of the snow, but it was worth it for the views of the surrounding mountains. Like someone said, the route is a lot of fun and seemed to have a little bit of everything, at least the way we did it (which could have been a little off track at times). Overall a glorious day, thanks to those who posted in response to my question the other day, and sorry to all you that had to work or stay at home.

You should get a "lunch box" then put some "food" in the "lunch box" and then "eat" your "food" instead of the cafeteria bounty.

I'm sure a cc special forces operation could get in there and get your cat.

Thanks for the info, I am planning on the South Rib, I probably should have mentioned that in the beginning. I'm going for it.

Alright, I know a lot of people have written about Guye Peak, and I spent a while going through a bunch of the posts last night to try and answer the question I had there first, but sure didn't see anything about it. I could have missed it, but I thought I'd risk the public bashing and ask anyway. I was planning on a little jaunt up Guye this weekend, but a buddy of mine said that at the top there is a nasty dangerous traverse, and that I should avoid doing the climb unless I know someone who has done the descent before. Anyway, I haven't heard about this from anyone else, or read it. I trust this guy, but if he is wrong...I may have to end the friendship. Gracias amigos.

Just to save any other people the trouble of cutting and pasting a quote from someone else, I have done some research in a couple different guidebooks, but I'd also like to hear a little info from someone who has done it recently, not when a book was published six or so years ago.

Does anyone have any good beta on climbing the north ridge of Mt Adams this time of year? I've heard it's a good all season route to go from some random people, but I like the wisdom of all you great ones on here more. Any info would be great. Thanks.
