jake5 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 My partner and I are planning on climbing Adams this weekend. Has anyone been up recently and can give a good description of conditions? Snow conditions? Exposed rock and where? thanks in advance, Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denalidave Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I was up a week and a half ago and it was pretty straight forward. Crampons are nice above the lunch counter but my wife did fine w out. I'd guess it has melted out a lot over the past ten days, so there may be a lot more exposed rock now though... Have fun. Let us know how it goes. The glissading chute from the summit was more like a bobsled run, over 4 ft deep in many places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulO Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Prepare for cold and snow. May want to reschedule? Weather system 8K snow level predicted by Saturday am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhrmabum Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Just heard on the news that there is currently a body recovery operation taking place on Adams. Yikes. No more info than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jake5 Posted September 26, 2010 Author Share Posted September 26, 2010 Trip was great. Cold and windy at the top but we made it no problem. Sun was shining the whole time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelySummit Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Uhg. We got a little freezing rain and snow at the lunch counter. Thumbs down for weather, thumbs up for good people and a good time. Think we scared a new guy a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
