Cherié and Cebe leading the approach. About 6 miles and 2500' gain.

A melting out mountain tarn on the approach.

Our first glimpse of Mt. Adams. The Adams Glacier is the ice fall in the center of the mountain.

Mark pointing out the route.

A relaxing rest stop, waiting for the weather to settle down.

Gretchen thinking about bivying!

Cebe and Cherié

Gretchen and Cherié happy to see the sun!

Lugging heavy ice climbing packs to basecamp.

Jonathan pointing out bad news, the incoming weather!

Mt. Adams. The Adams Glacier is on the right side of the mountain.

Upper meadows. A remote and beautiful place for basecamp.

Scouting for an appropriate location for basecamp.

We awaken to a barely visable angry mountain!

Looking down on basecamp.

We decide the weather and route are not conducive to ice climbing. The hike out.

An angry mountain bids a farewell.

Cherié, Mike, Jonathan, Mark, Gretchen and Cebe. Leaving the mountain for another day!
