"So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life."

No snowClimbed via the South Spur, spent a windy night at Lunch Counter. Should have climbed a month earlier, as so much snow had melted that it was a pain trying to walk up loose gravel most of the way.

No lunch at the Lunch counterTwo successful climbs, both on the South Spur route a week apart in July 1984. Fun, fun, fun--although bad weather was coming in, luckily we set out some wands marking the route. Turned out to be vital for the descent on the second trip

Mt. Adams SummitClimbed it two days ago. Enjoyed this one. Pikers peak without crampons proved to be a enjoyable challenge as I constantly used my ice axe to make steps. Great Glissading! We went down the wrong ridge descending but we were able to correct our path rather quickly.

Best Glissade in YearsWent up the South Spur. Thanks to Chance Y for making this happen! Beautiful mountain and great glissade in perfect weather.

Beautiful weatherI took three friends up this weekend that had never climbed. It was nearly a perfect climbing day and everyone summitted. We left the parking lot at 3:30 am. and the near full moon lit the trail and the mountain was clearly visible in the moonlight. We had high high winds up to Lunch Counter. It then calmed down and was a beautiful climb. We stayed on top for over two hours because it was so nice. It felt like about 50 degrees. The glissading was great.

Good dayBeautiful two days up on the mountain with a couple hundred others.

South SpurLong day, but we made good progress up and summitted in about 4.5 hours from the TH. Wish I could tell you what the last 2,000' of the climb looked like, but it was pea-soup cloudy up there. Glissade lived up to the hype

Adams GlacierChallenging yet rewarding, only ones on mountain! With Gcap and Vertigo soul.

Adams GlacierNavigated the somewhat confusing Adams Glacier with 2 great partners - G-Love and Lutty. Great route, but right side was totally out and instead we zig-zagged our way up the middle of the glacier. Had the peak to ourselves and weather was again perfect!

First volcanoOne-day ascent on the South Spur. Started from Cold Springs about 1:30. Lunch Counter to Piker's was icy early in the morning. We waited on top for an hour or two for the sun to come out and make conditions passable for the excellent glissade.

south spur, my first Cascades summitPerfect conditions on the South Spur. A friend and I camped around 6500'. Lots of post holing, especially past Piker's Peak. Stunning views of Hood and Rainier from the summit. Glissaded most of Piker's.
