MT.Adams or? a few ideas

[Khartoum Wood]

im looking to carpool and climb mt adams and was thinking of leaving the 15th 5pm and returning 17th late sunday night for work on monday willing to split gas cost gear and some food.

 

pickets:backpacking trip into the pickets for the weekend and climb watcom peak and if we have time we could go off the beaten path and and explore

 

 

cascade pass:backpacking trip would like to try and hike as far as we can in one weekend

 

have ultra lite 2 man tent if you dont mind the snoring and stove,and some food i would be willing to split gas cost

What route were you thinking about on Adams? Would you be interested in doing it in one day rather than two?

[Khartoum Wood]

shure if its possible i do mt baker that way alot too i have no experince on adams but i do have glaicer experince on a few i was thinking was thinking of adams glaicer as long as its not a tecnical ice climb with ice tools whats your thoughts on this route

[Jordan]

I don’t know. I've never don’t that route. Know nothing about it. Looks a little technical. Definitely need to rope up. I'm down for just about anything though.

[Khartoum Wood]

i have read the site for mt adams and found out its at around 55dig

i do have rope up experience i think i will have to call the forest service and get more info as there description is very vag i will have more info soon.

Adams Glacier is probably very broken up by now and not a good choice. Try the Mazama Glacier route if you want to avoid the masses on the S Spur (you'll merge with them anyways), or scramble up the N ridge (if you don't mind tons of scree).

 

 

[Khartoum Wood]

and that was the info i have been looking for thank you have you climbed the adams glaicer whats it like tryed getting info off the forest rangers by phone and they seemed to have nothing on that route.

[Khartoum Wood]

so i was thinking that mazama glacier would be are best bet because

adams is in the icefall zone so if you still would like to go we could leave friday night hike in and start climbing and climb this as a one day deal

Yeah. I'm probably down. I just got back from a 60 mile trek from port angeles to Quinault so I'm feeling a bit rough but let me get back to you tomorrow..

I'd be willing to tag along if you need/want another person. I'll be 21 in a month, sorta new to climbing but in excellent shape. I used to be a big long distance runner and have been up to the brothers, three fingers, and mt. daniel so far this summer.

 

i'd be willing to pay for gas and food or whatever else you need!! Or i can drive, i've got a car that fits 4. i'd love to come along. let me know =) would also be willing to do it in one day.
