Mt. Adams, South Side

Activity Notes

This is a good climb for those who are BCEP grads who are ready for a bigger climb and have had some experience on snow climbs.

Plan to meet at the trailhead at 9am.  We will work our way up to the lunch counter camping  zone ((5-6 hours) where we will set up camp, filter water and rest for our summit attempt.  Sunday we will get an early start up to pikers peak then make the final journey up to the summit.  After a break and summit photos, we will descend and if conditions allow can make the 3000 foot glissade back to camp where we will pack up and head back to the cars.

Climbers should be comfortable traveling with crampons on steepish and icy slopes.  There will be plenty of time to hone those BCEP snow travel skills.

More details to follow one the team is selected.
