marek Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Given current snow bonanza, what would be the easiest access to the mountain? And no, I do not have a snowmobile. Marek Quote

magellan Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Southside, hitch a ride with a mobiler! Quote
climbnsparky Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 a friend of mine tried to get up the south side last weekend and said that the snow was so deep that his sled couldnt make it very far before it sank so deep it ran out of air. Quote
barjor Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 So how close to Morrison creek is it possible to drive with a typical 4wd suv? Quote
barjor Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 Just talked to the park ranger and there info is that you can drive to about 10 miles from Morisson creek. Looks like there will be along time before I will see that summit again. Quote
marek Posted February 12, 2006 Author Posted February 12, 2006 Ok Here is the info I got. I have this 1968 book "Northwest Ski Trails" by Ted Muller and it directs me to FR N81 with abot 7-8 mile hike to Timberline Forrest Camp and then to head 12 degrees true north to Suksdorf Ridge on to false summit. Any comments? Quote
catbirdseat Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 A few years ago, I think it was May 1999, I went in from a snow park in the south. It was a big snow year, in any case. Above the Lunch Counter, we met a Frenchman on skis who told us he drove up some random logging road on the west side and just started skinning up through the trees. Sounded a lot shorter than what we did, assuming you could find your way back to your car. Quote
wormfighter6 Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 a friend of mine tried to get up the south side last weekend and said that the snow was so deep that his sled couldnt make it very far before it sank so deep it ran out of air. He must not know how to ride his machine very well. Anyone have any info on climbing conditions on Mt Adams. We are looking at taking the southern route? Quote
catbirdseat Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 Did you happen to notice that the post was made in February? Quote
wormfighter6 Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 yup, I saw it was Feb. I was hoping someone had tried to summit last weekend. Quote
fettster Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 USFS update from May 1 says snow starts 6.5 miles from the trailhead: http://www.fs.fed.us/gpnf/recreation/current-conditions/mta-climbing-report.shtml Quote
