Mt. Adams South Spur

[sterlingclimber]

Has anyone been up the the south spur recently? Planning a trip next weekend with a group of 8 and could use any current info.

 

Thanks

Sterling -

I would expect there to be some low-angled snow on the lower section (below the lunch counter), and then some steep snow with very big suncups up to the false summit, followed by suncups that border on neve penitente at the top. I believe a recent post suggested that it had melted out to the point that there was a lot of rock (rubble) showing on that steep climb from the lunch counter to the false summit.
