The approach for the Mt. Adams South Climb looks very different this year. Most of the trees in the Cold Springs area got burned up in the September 2012 fire.
Lots of climbers heading up the slope that we call Widowmaker.
Hungry climbers waiting for the all you can eat dinner: Chicken & Rice Casserole and Bacon Cheesy Potatoes!
Climbers stopping above Lunch Counter in the morning to put on crampons before heading up the south face.
700 vertical feet to go!
A big group celebrating on top of the second highest mountain in Washington!
Now for the fun and slightly scary part....the mile long glissade back down to high camp!
The crew feasting on BBQ cheese dogs, chips and pop. What a way to end a great climb!
