Blake Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Anyone done adams, particularly the mazama glacier route ever this time of year? Looking for a nice trip to do before mid-june, could this go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashw_justin Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Sounds good to me as long as you are prepared for the massive hike in and you get up the route before it starts to unfreeze in the morning sunshine. Let us know how it goes, I want to do it too! But when the road opens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurthicks Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 i talked to the wilderness manager a couple weeks ago... long approach. there is still a lot of snow up there. From the website "Road 8040 is blocked by snow one mile past Wicky Shelter. This is approximately 6 miles from Cold Springs, the summer trailhead for the South Climb. " Â have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashw_justin Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Only 6 miles? Well that's not so bad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshK Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Yeah, it's funny that people would let 6 miles stop them. It's 2 hours, 3 if you are slow. That isn't enough to make a climb that much harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ireneo_Funes Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 I'm thinking of climbing the Mazama glacier route too, in early July. What's the usual trailhead when the roads are open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurthicks Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 cold springs/south climb. don't tell the FS that you're doing that route since they'll say you need a permit from the Indian Reservation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collin Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Is there a shorter/qicker route in now in May that has good riding down? What's the funnest route and do you bivy? I'll be heading up next Wed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 anyone do Adams 5/15/04?? is the approach still 6 miles and patchy?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 The road is now snowed in about 3 miles from cold springs. Any info on the mazama glacier route currently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoran Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I skied Adams with few friends on Canada's Victoria Day (May 22,23) and St. Helen's on 24th. We did South route, not Mazama glacier. It was cold, hot, sunny, rainy and we had snowstorm on the way back. Everything! Overall it was good trip. We met few climbers. Most of the others were on skis and snowshoes. regards, Zoran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
