Mt. Adams summit 7/21-7/22
« on: July 26, 2012, 06:52:55 PM »
We made it up the mountain over the weekend. Its a great feeling reaching the top for sure. I was the only person up there in camoflauge. Its the only quality gear I have though.

Awesome! That's a fun climb. Did you glissade at all on the way down?

We glissaded a bunch. From pikers peak to the lunch counter basically. Ton of fun.

My group did the same thing. A guy in the group behind us forgot to take his crampons off while glissading and basically snapped his leg in half  :o . He had a spendy helicopter ride off the mountain!

Nice work!  Adams is a fun slog and the glissade down is a blast.

Yeah... glissading with crampons on is a bad idea.  Two things I see all the time are 1) that and 2) folks who don't understand how to hold their ice axe while glissading, who end up poking themselves with it while they are sliding way too fast down the hill.
