sws Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 anyone of you done it, thinking about it soon and would like some beta and if anyone has been on the north side this year road conditions, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllYouCanEat Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 (edited) Lava looked good in early may, before weather came in on me. Here are some pics while I was there to get you stoked! We had 8 miles or more of road when we were there. I'm sure you could get really close to killin creek now. Photos of lava, early may: and a couple more just to get you excited. you can see the lava in the background of this last picture.

letsroll Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 (edited) In a normal year I think you would be able to drive to the TH. But as I understand it the road is washed out about a mile or two from the TH. At least that is the impression I got from the forest service web page. Am I wrong?? Edit: Check out the Adams conditions thread. There are directions to get to the TH. Edited June 8, 2007 by letsroll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esugi Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 OK, sorry guys but I'm too lazy to do my own research. What's the approach on this route? what TH? Is this route located near Adams Glacier and North Ridge? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pup_on_the_mountain Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 You lazy bum ! Approach is same as that for NR and Adams Glacier (Killen Creek TH). There are detailed driving directions in this thread. If you want more details, check this set of directions from Google Maps. The route is on the climber's left of NR. You top out more or less on the expansive summit plateau. Descend the NR. There is another less popular climb called Stormy Monday Couloir between the NR and Adams Glacier. Lava Glacier headwall is covered in Nelson's guide, Vol 2 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esugi Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I can always count on you Bala =) Thanks, it looks like we are headed there on Sunday/Monday. Either Adams Glacier or Lava Headwall...though i'll look into Stormy Monday Couloir as well. Eiji Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dietcookie Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 (edited) I'm planning on climbing Adams solo next month, is there a page or desc of this route/approach? Whats the Stormy Monday Couloir like?

AllYouCanEat Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Stormy Monday and Lava HW are not in great condition now and receive a LOT of rockfall all hours of the day. I'm not saying you can't do them, but seriously, I'd rather be somewhere else. The NW Face of the North Ridge would be your best bet and would be what i would climb IMHO. The approach is via killin creek and is 5 easy miles. The route is mostly 45 degree snow (and ice later season), descent is the n ridge. Get a map and go have fun! I have some pics of the routes from the last few days, but I won't be home to post any for several days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
