Gear guidance for Mt. Adams - Mid-October
Posted: Fri Sep 23, 2011 1:30 am
I need some guidance on gear required to climb Mt. Adams South Route during mid-october. Looks like it's going to be pretty cold. The ranger was saying they had temps varying between 40s to 70s at the station now. So I am assuming it will be pretty cold up above come mid-october. I would like to know what among these will be needed:
- Plastic double boots vs. Sturdy backpacking boots (which accept strop-on crampons)
- Down jacket/parka vs. Primaloft 1 synthetic jacket.
Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
