Mt. Adams South Spur

Mt. Adams South Spur August 14, 2012

 First good view of Mt. Adam's from the hiking trail

 Crossing our first glacier

 A look at the climb ahead

 Almost at Lunch Counter looking at the route

 Finally at Lunch Counter now up the glacier to Piker's Peak

Climbing the glacier without crampons

 Getting in to the steep part of the glacier

Near top of Piker's Peak at 11,200ft 

 Piker's Peak false summit looking at the rest of the climb to Mt. Adam's summit

 Group Summit Pic!

 Glissading time!

 My main motivation for climbing Mt. Adam's
