"What a climb! Recent beta let us know that the summit was melted out and there were a lot of open crevasses, but there was nothing too difficult to navigate around. Day 1 we hiked up to where the crevasses started & set up camp. We started around midnight for the summit. Not far into our climb, Joel had the sole of his boot come loose. Out of an abundance of caution, he decided to return to camp and we moved forward with 2 rope teams of 3 each. We moved slow & steady with short hourly breaks on the way up and made the summit by 730am. After a nice rest at the top, we headed down at a slightly faster pace. The snow was already slushy as we headed back down, but no issues. After a brief rest, we packed up and hiked all the way out." — Kevin • Jul 14, 2021

"A one-day summit trek spanning 14.5 hours and 6700EG of climbing. Weather was fantastic on the summit. Running water was accessible along the entire route, and even the summit lookout cabin was visible! A definitely tiring experience that won’t be repeated this late in the season.

"Drove up from Vegas to climb Mount Adams and Mount Baker with LVMC. Adams was first. We decided to do the South Climb as a dayhike. There wasn't nearly as much snow as there usually is on the mountain, so it was a bit more difficult/miserable than planned, but we made the best of it. The views of Hood, Jefferson, Rainier and St. Helens were fantastic, even if it was a little hazy. Made it up and down with no issues. We didn't get to glissade as much as we were hoping, but still managed a total of about 1700-2000 feet of glissading. Next is Baker (hopefully)" — Kevin • Jul 12, 2021

"Fantastic trip up the Coleman-Deming. Even with a strong, hot headwind and rather slushy conditions the glacier is holding together nicely. 8 hour round trip car to car made for a nice quick climb starting at 12:30 am. " — oregon-mt-goat • Jun 26, 2021

"The road to the South Climb Trailhead is blocked by a large snow bank about 1 mi before the Cold Springs CG, so I carried my overnight gear the short distance and camped the night before the climb. It was a rough night - a small weather system brought wind, cold, and snow down to 5600 ft elevation. I was in a tarp tent and had some trouble keeping warm and dry, but managed to get a few hours sleep. I woke up at 3:30a, packed, made coffee, and was moving by 4:20a. I had melted snow for water the night before. The morning was cold and very windy, but the precip had stopped. I started by headlamp, following some fresh ski tracks. Progress was somewhat slow due to the fresh powder, but higher up I began to find patches of wind-scoured rime ice which was more efficient for hiking. Higher still, the powder was wind-packed into a slabby layer, but probably not thick enough to cause a slide concern. On several occasions I was hit by small snow cyclones that would periodically come down the south slope. Between Pikers and the summit, the surface was almost entirely rime ice that formed a breakable crust. Powerful cold wind was whipping over the summit, but I was able to take shelter behi..." — klotito • May 28, 2021
