| soslaw | West Side Schwack  Date Climbed: Jul 17, 2011 | |
| Bushwack from 7200 to the 7800 saddle south of the false summit. Underbrush thinned out from the saddle over false summit and to the summit. | |

| Bushwhack on the approach up the west face. A better approach would have been up the north ridge, which I took on the way back. The ridge was still partially covered in snow and has a Jeep trail that runs up near the crest. There is a nice network of Jeep trails in the area that is also worth checking out. | |

| sierramtngoat | North Western Approach Date Climbed: Aug 19, 2010 | |
| This was the 5th peak that my wife and I climbed during our vacation in northern Tahoe. We drove on OHV roads to the NW side of Adams' NW summit; there is an abandoned road that begins there at ~7120' that goes up the drainage on the NW side; this road will eventually link up with another road that will go up the northern drainage and basically bisect the main summit and the NW summit; the road becomes more crappy the higher you get and will eventually try to take you to the NW summit so don't get suckered into that as the view is better from the summit; stay in the drainage until the saddle and approach the summit from its SE ridge; we found a route that didn't involve any major bleeding in the bush by traversing up the south face to the SE ridge. Only ~2 people climb this peak per year, so the log goes back to 1972. | |

| With 4x4 made it to 6800 ft just before the road tops out, then snowdrifts stopped us. Wife and I hiked up mostly snow-free to 7600 ft, then a horrid bushwack and a much easier way down (wrap way around to the south near the summit!) Dixie Mtn the next day was a much more enjoyable snowshoe trip. | ||

| The brush was pretty nasty from the saddle, but the view was worth it. | ||

| A short thrash through forest and brush. Good views of an out-of-the-way part of the Sierra. | |

| One of the more enjoyable Tahoe area peaks in winter, in part because the route we took ascended through pines and sagebrush that was vaguely reminiscent (perhaps with some imagination) of the eastern Sierra. | |

| Climbed Elwell and Adams with Matthew on a slushy spring day. Adams was a good deal harder than we expected. Trip Report | |
