| lcarreau | South Spur in 1983 Date Climbed: Jul 11, 1983 | |
| Second summit attempt, the first ending at the false summit a week prior. The snowpack was incredible. Camped IN the snow at Timberline; Devils Half Acre was a breeze. Reached the Lunch Counter at lunchtime. The snow was stable and easy to walk on. Mt. St. Helen's lava dome was still steaming from the May 1980 eruption. Awesome! | |

| mkpatrick | Mount Adams South Spur Date Climbed: Sep 11, 2007 | |
| Two day climb up the south spur. Camped east of the lunch counter. More scree and boulders made for slower going than I expected, guess thats what I get for going in Sept. Summited around 0930, strong winds, probably 40-50 mph. Good times. | |

| Great day to climb with excellent weather. Had a miserable wet slog coming off the mountain but well worth it. | |

| Climbed via the very crowded south route it was a nice walk up peak with no real technical challenges. It could be harder with limited visabilty but we had a great clear day to climb. | |

| Nice weather, only 10 mph winds at the top, and excellent glissade. Snow was hard on the way up, and crampons were helpful. | |

| I had a good time, but the route up the South Spur is jsut long slog. Would like to go back to do the Mazama or Adams route next time. | |

| 8-14-2006 and 7-2005, both car to car. The glissade and the view are the only redeeming quality of this long slog. I'd like to do a different route next time. | |

| Very enjoyable climb, and my first volcano as well! The glissade route was absolutely incredible, as we were able to drop some 2000'+ in a very short amount of time! Returned on the 24th of August to encounter much worse snow conditions, yet the ascent (as well as portions of the glissade) were still very enjoyable. | |

| Camped at 8000'. The wind was blowing all night until it finally subsided at 5am. I got zero hours of sleep but the day went pretty well. I was actually glad I took a later start (6:15am) as some early summitters couldn't glissade down as it was still too icy. Anyway, fun day, great mountain and awesome views of Rainier!

| We went in late October and tried to do it all in one day. It was fun, but I did end up getting altitude sickness so I only made it to the false summit. My partners continued on without me. I'll be back though. Made another trip up in August of 2009, camped at Lunch Counter, and made it to the top. A great mountain to spend time on. Beautiful blue skies and a great glissade down! | |

| andret | Wild Wind on Mazama Glacier Date Climbed: Jul 15, 2007 | |
| Summitted via Mazama Ridge. 30-40 mph wind gusts all night... woke up to more wind and blowing sand... sky cleared on the way up... clear skies, beautiful views... hit the summit by 9am. It turned out to be a wonderful day. | |

| Cloudy morning, sprinkles, wind, and sun by late morning. The snow was soft in early morning, and the water was flowing faster at Lunch Counter as the day went on. Watch for falling rocks (saw a couple on the snowfield above Lunch Counter), but the snow was soft enough that it stopped them from going very far. Mountainlion and I slept a couple hours then headed up at 4:00am reaching the summit at 1:00pm. The glissade chutes are at their best as they go from Pikers Peak to the Lunch Counter. It's a great summer hike for those who don't like technical climbing such as route finding around crevasses or steep slopes or seracs that may fall. | |

| benjamingray | Mazama glacier Date Climbed: Jul 2, 2007 | |
| Fun route, an excellent beginner glacier climb. My partner wasn't feelin' it, so I went solo from the top of the glacier. 4:10 to the summit from Sunrise Camp. Cut off the train coming up the South Side and was the first one to the summit that day by an hour. | |
