"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Untitled Commenti climbed adams yesterday (7/17/02) and when i walked from the mining shack along the ridge to the other side i found the only windblock area of some stones. when i sat down a football size rock slid away revealing a fresh mound of human feces. i then realized i was in the center of a huge toilet with tp and crap EVERYWHERE!!! look, i have had to use the wilderness as toilet because of my lack of foersight- totally irresponsible- but i was as responsible as i could get. and you NEVER leave tp. wrap it and pack it. i carried out a whole bag of other peoples crappy toilet paper i collected from the summit.
whoever has participated in filling my bag should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. bury it deep in the snow- but never just crap in such a busy area, drop a rock on it and be on your merry way. this may work in the untraveled wilderness- but NOT on the summit of mt adams.

Stupid Permit SystemIf you arrive from the East (via Goldendale) you will not pass the ranger station. There is no self-purchase permit system in place on the mountain, so unless you detour to the ranger station you will have to park illegally & climb without paying the permit. No idea why the park rangers can't just have a box at Cold Springs where you can drop in an envelope with your fees.
