Shit looks like the north face is pretty much jacked, i'm flying in next thursday and soloing the north face and I was hoping for some snow. Pictures can be decieving, think with the north face i'll still get some nice pon/axe usage?

Climbing it solo on Aug 10-11, whats the average time it should take someone in decent shape to summit from Lake 7505' ascending the North Face of the North West Ridge? I plan on getting up around 2am, will this be enough time for me to ascend the NF and come down the NWR, pick up my gear and possibly head back down to the TH?

I'm planning on climbing Adams solo next month, is there a page or desc of this route/approach? Whats the Stormy Monday Couloir like?

I will be on adams next month, I'm thinking of this route. any more info and possible partners I'd be glad to hear about!

I'm looking to climb something in August, nothing more difficult than perhaps a class 4/5 route. I'm from San Diego so I'll be flying up to either WA or OR. But there has to be some of the good stuff up there (snow!!). I know it's hard to judge conditions for the future and we are experiencing a heat wave this week, but typically what mountains in the cascades are covered in snow (or somewhat)? I considered Rainier but I'm doing that in May next year with some buddies so I gotta wait till then. What are some options?
