Registration

Registration is required for this activity.

Overview

We'll be climbing Mt. Adams via either Valley Way (8.30 mi, 4,436ft) or Airline (7.8mi, 4,442ft Elevation gain), depending on conditions/forecast. Expect a long day with 4500' of elevation gain and significant above treeline travel. Participants should have previous winter hiking experience and be comfortable traveling on crampons and know what an ice ax is for. "To address unforeseen challenges such as adverse weather, unacceptable trail conditions or excessive crowding, the planned trip destination, activity and/or meeting place and time may be modified. In that event, participants may elect to join in that activity or opt out."
