very popular. the longer the season goes on, the longer the line up the south ridge. there are other routes that are fairly easy, but with less people. not sure about how they are for skiing though, as i have never been on skis before!
-
what route are you taking? were going mazama glacier, so hopefully there wont be a huge crowd! at least not up the first part.
ive been to the website, just hoping for the most current info from those whove been up the mountain. the closer to the weekend were going the better. thanks
thanks for conditions info.

we are looking for conditions of st helens on the worm flow route.
we are climbing at midnight sunday. we are wanting to know if we should take snowshoes/skis, or if booting it in would work. how much snow, etc...
so, keep the info coming up until sunday. any pics would be great too.
also, if you could keep posting about conditions at adams. we are planning on the mazama glacier route second weekend in june. more specifically on this one, road conditions to trail head.
thanks

thanks for the info guys. i read (on cc.com i think) that the moat at the summit block was pretty large and difficult on the class 4, but not bad on the 5.4 section. we plan on climbing there. is this true (obviously it changes somewhat year to year, but we're looking for an average here!)?
p.s. great pics!

we were wanting to climb mt olympus this year, but the soonest we could go would be early to mid october. i am not familiar with the weather and conditions of the olympic mountains though and am wonder if this is a good time to go, or if we should wait until sprin 2008?

great, thanks! i'll do that. we are definately wanting to get up there when theres still snow on the mountain.

i did the south ridge of south sister in october. also went up st helens acouple weeks ago. turned back a few hundred feet above snow line though. got up there late, and very low visiblity.
this weekend the snow levels supposed to be up to 8000ft, which is almost to the summit of st helens, so we will go elsewhere. probably hood and just head up towards irock and back. just get a little climbing in above the rain!

great pics gary! private plane or commercial?
yeah, sounds like adams is going to have to wait a few months. we'll try it when the trailheads open up.
what is a good, close (within 100 miles or so) winter summit. we're are longtime backpackers, and rock climbers, and scramblers, but newer to the mountaineering. we all have basic glacier, and some rescue experience. hoping to work up to some big, technical summits eventually
only have 2 days, including drive time.
and we were planning on snowshoeing in.

we were wanting to climb the mazama glacier route on adams this coming weekend. just wondering if anyone could tell me what the access to the south side of the mountain is like. is it even possible to hike in a climb in two days this time of year? how long of an approach is it going to be? the forest service site says the campgrounds are closed, what would the closest road be we could take?
or should we head to hood instead? weather permitting of course!
thanks
