Route recommendation Hood or Adams late season
Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2012 4:58 am
Hi,
I'm looking for a route recommendation for Hood or Adams (flying into Portland) over Labor Day weekend. Steep snow and easy-to-moderate ice. Would prefer a glacier route and will not be bringing rock pro.
Did Fuhrer Finger on Rainier that time last year and dealt with rockfall (mostly due to a late start), rotten snow, and messy glaciers. I figure that's par for the course by September.
Anyone find a good time on the snow late August?
Thanks!
