Bishopp66 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Beware of the south route at that time. I did it last year and it was all melted out to the false summit. That scree field sucks bad... Bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaskadskyjKozak Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Beware of the south route at that time. I did it last year and it was all melted out to the false summit. That scree field sucks bad... Bad. I climbed Adams (S side) over labor day 2003. to elaborate on what Bishopp66 warns about: 1) snow level somewhere around 8500 feet(?) 2) snow on route until about 11,000 - then 600 feet of scree up to Piker's 3) snow on the flat between Piker's and the summit 4) 600+ feet of scree up to the summit. The scree is like this: step up a foot, lose 11.5 inches. good times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemanpipes Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Sooo... you guys suggest not doing the south trail to the top of Adams on end of august. When is the best time too do adams.. what is some other awesome one day hike trail in washington that would be good at this time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
builder206 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 When is the best time too do adams.. I went up the south route a couple weeks ago - 7/25 - and there was good snow all the way to the false summit. From http://www.fs.fed.us/gpnf/recreation/current-conditions/mta-climbing-report.shtml: "SOUTH CLIMB trail report: The trail is snow free…The snow is quickly disappearing from False Summit." So, in just 2 weeks it's all gone. The Trout Lake ranger station can tell you real-time conditions when you are ready to go but it sounds like teh suck now.
