kenp Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I would like to climb the north cleaver route of Adams in May or early June, how are the roads that time of year? Has anyone been up there this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I haven't been up that way in a while, but I've spent plenty of time on the N side of Adams in the past. In snow years better than this one I've been able to drive all the way to Killen Creek TH with no problems in May and/or June. My guess is that this year you could go up without any trouble at all by the end of this month. The thing you really need to be asking yourself is, "Do I really want to hike up this pile of choss when there are so many other great lines on this side of the hill?" I've never been "up" the NR; I only use it for descents. It's a dirt-slog - especially this year. Think: NF Adams Glacier, Adams Glacier Icefall, Stormy Monday Couloir, Lava Glacier, Lyman Glaciers (North or South), or all the cool stuff on the NW aspect.

kenp Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 thx sobo, it's the last WA volcano for me to do. Probably climb solo and didn't want to wimp out of a south side slog. I'll research the CAG a little more on these routes you have mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
