Clyde,

Good page; here are my thoughts:

1) I'm having trouble seeing a description of a route to the summit. The easiest route up some of the peaks in the Crestones is class 4, so I wouldn't want to take my mother up there! How hard is the easiest route up Adams.

2) Red tape: Unless the peak is privately owned, it is government owned, and certainly bound to at least some red tape. Especially for the camping. I'd suggest finding out which gov't agency has jurisdiction and at least providing a phone number and preferably a website if it exists.

3) When to Climb: I like to encourage people to think about the extra logistics involved in a winter ascent. Every peak is *possible* to climb in the winter, some more realistically than others. How much distance do road closures add to the approach? Are any slopes skiiable?

I meant my suggestions to be constructive, and not a personal criticism. If you want me to see any updates or if you have questions, just leave a reply to this post...

Thanks,

MOrgan

This was a three star page when it was first submitted. The bar has been raised for page quality on SP and nothing has changed with this page in quite some time.

	Voted 7/10	Clyde, take a long look at this page, this is a four star page. Notice the amount of usefull content. You keep asking me for suggestions and all you need to do is check out a few centennial thirteener pages here on SP. You have been here long enough to know that other pages here are better than this one, so why wouldn't you just take some time to fix the page instead of asking everyone what they suggest? Is it because you want to spend the least amount of time possible on the mantainence of the page? If this is the case, let me know so we can trnsfer the page to someone who can properly maintain a centennial page. Instead it seems that you are using SP for a platform for your web address,thus the awesome photos and weak Mount Adams page. Adams is quite the mountain and it deserves a better page. Your photos are great, but the info you have presented is lacking in in a big way. Do some research, tell us something we don't know already or cannot read in a guidebook.

Decent page. I'd like to see a more thorough route description from Willow Lake with some good route pictures, and the page could use more pictures in general.
