much appreciated. Yeah i forgot to mention that I would be doing the south spur route. So weather is the main concern-- duly noted, i will use that as the main factor. Historically speaking, when does the road to Cold Springs open? Appreciate the help, im located in Northern California and pretty familiar with the mountains down here but not too knowledgable on the mountains up there

Hey all, when is the best time of year to climb Mt Adams? Aside from mountaineering in the Sierra, for the cascade mountains I’ve only done Mt Shasta and I was always under the impression that earlier in the year when theres full snow coverage is preferable to later in the year with all the exposed loose volcanic rock. same deal with Mt Adams? Reason i ask is I see a lot of trip reports for later in the year. thanks for the help
