Helen_ Posted Tuesday at 05:46 AM Posted Tuesday at 05:46 AM Looking for some folks to climb mt.Adams in July. Prefer to start 3 am. Quote
astrov Posted Wednesday at 12:06 AM Posted Wednesday at 12:06 AM there will be plenty of people up there. take more sun protection than you think you need (hats, buffs, glasses - sunscreen never lasts long enough). Take lots of water and start early. 3 AM from the parking lot is probably early enough if you're fast, otherwise it is more pleasant as a two-day trip. take a trash bag or waterproof pants for the glissade down! (remove crampons for the glissade) 1 Quote
Helen_ Posted Wednesday at 11:49 PM Author Posted Wednesday at 11:49 PM spasibo! Thank You. I have attempted one time at the end of May, reached 9986 feet and went down. but we started around 5 am. it was car to car, driving in the night. This time planing about getting there the evening before and staying in the camp or car. Quote
astrov Posted yesterday at 01:39 AM Posted yesterday at 01:39 AM Пожалуйста (I don't speak Russian and I looked that up) it's a long single-day trip for sure. Many people camp at Lunch Counter on night one and then make their summit bid the next morning. not sure if you need permits for that but probably. space to camp at the trailhead can be tight - i had to cowboy camp on some open grass by the road once, but it all worked out. good luck!
