[TR] Mt. Adams- NFNWR 7/5/2004

Climb: Mt. Adams-NFNWR

 

Date of Climb: 7/5/2004

 

Trip Report:

After skiing the NFNWR two weeks ago, I wanted more. So I headed back with Dave Coleman. In the parking lot we ran into PlumbBob and his buddy, down from Alaska on a volcano tour. Bob was planning on skiing the NFNWR as well, so we joined forces, climbed the north ridge on Monday after a spectacular bivy Sunday. We got up to the West Peak at 1:30, and started skiing at 2. We took a break on a rock band after a few hundred feet, to let the corn soften up a bit more. We found the (narrow) gap, threaded between the rock bands, and found an easy exit to the Adams Glacier. Sickness.

 

Here's Dave on the Adams.

 

 

What a way to wrap up the official season.

 

My God, I'm unproductive today.

 

Gear Notes:

Didn't take rope, crampons, or axes. Climbed NR in sneakers.

 

Approach Notes:

Trail is snow free to the meadows, patchy to last trees, where we bivied.
