| alpinedon | Only Once, long ago  Date Climbed: Jul 2, 2000 | |
| My only summit of Adams was with the Obsidians group out of Eugene, via the south spur. Nice climb, nice day, wasn't in very good shape back then. | |

| Climbed with Dave B. Gained the face from the Adams Glacier. Roped but no pro. Very windy on the summit. Came down NW Ridge, has a couple of steep steps. | |

| Bombchaser | South Climb Date Climbed: Sep 25, 2009 | |
| Who ever said this was an easy climb is crazy. Not sure where the "Trail to the top" is. I started out at 9:30am Thursday and made camp at 11,400 feet. I climbed the last 800 feet on Friday and then descended back to my car. Total climbing time was about 12.50 hours. Past Lunch Counter it is about 3000 feet of steep loose scree and rock. Had a few rocks zip past me in the snow melt areas. The views on top are awesome. The glaciers are right in your face. | |

| Drove from MT to trailhead for South Spur route. Hiking by 4 am, stopped to pump water, summit around 11:30, back to the car at 3, on Bainbridge aound 8. Long day without snow, but straightforward. Seems like a good mountain to ski. | |

| Caught a beautiful weekend in Oct. My buddy and I had no difficulties but almost descended a steep, steep non returnable gully. A climber a week before us had done the same and it almost cost him is life | |

| cackalackyclimber | South Spur Date Climbed: Aug 8, 2009 | |
| Climbed the South Spur as a day climb the day after a successful climb of Hogsback/Old Chute on Hood. 11 hours car-to-car including 1.5 hours on top in warm sunny conditions. Snow cover was thin, resulting in a lot of crummy rock up top and some breaks in the glissade going down. | |

| Malibu | 3rd Cascade Peak Climb Date Climbed: Aug 5, 2009 | |
| We're not what you'd call regulars at this and this was only my third climb above the treeline, second for my climbing partner. We did it in one day as I had done Hood and St. Helens in the late 90s. From Cold Springs we started at 2:30 AM, arriving back there at 6:30 PM. It might require less time earlier in the season with more snow cover -- we had to pick our way through alot of very rocky and curvy trail sections. Since we thought elevation could cause problems for us, not camping up at a higher point to acclimate, we took it quite easy, stopping often and taking longer breaks than some might. Perhaps this gave our bodies time to adjust as the only ill-effect felt was heavy fatigue. It was an amazing hike for us -- this mountain is huge, the one-day hike long at 13 miles and more conditioning will precede our next climb. Planning for Hood in May of 2010. | |

| I did this as a backpack with a camp at the lunch counter. Nice hike overall although I didn't get much sleep with my tent flapping in the wind. | |

| phydeux | Easy, but steep, slog Date Climbed: May 1, 1992 | |
| Did this solo by the South Spur route as part of a PNW climbing trip that included Shasta and the Three Sisters. Got stormed off of Hood (can't win 'em all!). | |

| CHADHEP | South Side Route Date Climbed: Jul 18, 2009 | |
| I hiked up to the lunch counter on Friday July 17th and setup camp(about 5.5 hours). Got up at 5:30am and made the summit at 10:30am. Finally made it to my truck at 4pm. Total 16 hours. It was a really awesome time. The glissades were quite the reward coming down. | |

| sourstraw | 2nd ascent via South side Date Climbed: Jul 19, 2009 | |
| My first ascent was via the North Side ... this time I took two inexperienced friends up the South Side. Pretty easy route to the summit ... but base camp on the North Side is so much more beautiful! | |

| lalpinist | Busy Summit at 9:30am Date Climbed: Jul 19, 2009 | |
| Left from the lower camp (below Lunch Counter) at 5am in a group of five. Easy, steady climb. From Piker's I took the direct route to the top, while the others went to the more gradual incline on the loose rock to the right. It seemed to save about 15 minutes, due in part because I didn't stop to take off my crampoons. Quite beautiful up top with low wind. The old mine structure was partially exposed. Lots of people up there. | |

| Ridgerunner755 | South Route with a hundred others Date Climbed: Jul 18, 2009 | |
| My buddy Dave and I climbed from Cold Springs. We started at 3:15 A.M. and were on top by about 8:15 or so. I was wearing Carhartts and used my ice fishing crampons from lunch counter up. Dave had some Yak extreme crampons, a lot like the ones you see old ladies wear for icy sidewalks. They both worked great. Neither of us had ice axes, but the ski poles did come in handy. Glissade chutes were very deep and a little icy in spots. Wearing garbage bags helped us keep our speed up. I did not bring a whistle like the woman at the ranger station advised, but we made it regardless and both lived to see another day and drink another beer. Awesome mountain by the way! | |

| A fine day and a lovely challenging hike. Did it with one busted crampon. Full Snow cover. Solo. No sun glasses: Developed a nasty case of sunburned eyeballs (snowblind). Climbed it again in July 1981 with my Mom. | |
