Trip: Mount Adams - Adams Glacier

 

Date: 7/22/2010

 

Trip Report:

Charles and I climbed Adams via Adams Glacier a couple days ago. There were strong winds (up to 35 mph) as predicted, especially above 11,000 ft, and some wet clouds that blew through, but otherwise conditions were stellar. I would highly recommend this route for right now.

Gear Notes:

Two pickets and two ice screws each. We didn’t use the pickets at all; where the snow was soft-enough for pickets, we didn’t feel the need to. Steel crampons. One tool (Shrike) and one ice axe each.

 

Approach Notes:

Road is open. Trail is melted out...get after it.

Hmm you must have seen our steps since we climbed it in calmer winds 20, 21 of july. I have climbed it in much steeper and icer conditions but still a fun route. We managed to find a entry onto the northwest slope at 9300ft and descend on snow, so so much more pleasant

I guess high winds are somewhat typical there. That's nice you got off the ridge on the descent. We saw some of those steps too (as well as the ones on the way up), but couldn't find a way down off the ridge.
