Mount Adams Southwest Chutes

Some weird conditions today, suncuppy at the bottom with little low elevation snowpack but the upper mountain wasn’t quite prime. Still a great day spending time here.










Blue-ish ice and rime


Finding a nice spot to wait out the melt. Unfortunately it’d just be too icy up here while the lower was a bit sloppy - hard to win today.


My favorite view of Adams...


Until now! Just finding out about this Takhlakh Lake spot


Adams Glacier


Notes

  • This was probably ~14 miles and ~7600 feet of vertical gain in a little over 8 hours.
