Bug Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Adams is a great place to start. The South ridge is crowded but safe and steep enough to give you good crampon experience. If you ski or ride, take em along. You're tent should be alright but but I wouldn't leave my wallet there. There are crevasses as soon as you get off the summit to the north. If you stay away from there you do not need a rope. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigtree Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Austin, I tagged the summit twice this year - once in June and again in August - both times via the south ridge from Cold Springs trail head. On the June trip I camped at the Lunch Counter at ~ 9 000'. The August journey was a day trip (~ 12hrs return) and I enjoyed it much more. There are a couple of route variations from the south - all straight forward. Here's a few pics at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bigtree/. Will likely go back in the spring and try a route from the north. Lots of beta under: "Route Reports >> Southern WA Cascades" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bug Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 This is fine if you are ready to weather a storm. Just don't go beyond the summit to the North. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
