Northern Routes on Adams

[alexbaker]

I am looking into climbing one of the northern ridges on Mt. Adams this weekend. (Northwest R, North Ridge, or Lava ridge). Just looking for some good info on any/all of these routes. If you have been there or have any good advice on these routes let me know. Also, if anybody had any idea what kind of snow pack to expect let me know. thanks a bunch

You shouldnt have much trouble with N Ridge (just to climbers left of Adams Glacier). It doesnt have much av hazard and is probably pretty nice snow-covered. As for snow-pack, I would expect "recent new snow".
