Description:
This is the Mazama Glacier route on Mt. Adams. It is a basic glacier climb, but one not to be underestimated. This route involves 3,300ft of roped glacier travel on a 35-40 degree slope. Expect real crevasse danger, exposure, and altitude. Also expect a great, relatively local glacier climb with far fewer people than the standard route on Adams.
We will get an early start from Eugene on Saturday morning to allow time for permits and travel to the Yakima nation side of Mt. Adams. The approach road is a rough, 1 lane gravel road. We'll hike in on the first day to Sunrise camp at 8,300 ft. We'll plan on a quick 'night' of rest and get up early for an alpine start (around 2am). On Sunday we'll aim to reach the summit, return back to camp to pack up, hike back to our cars, and drive back to Eugene. Expect a late arrival back to Eugene on Sunday night.
For this climb, you should be confident in your self arrest and knowledgeable about basic rope team travel.
