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)
