On the drive home via Forest Service Road 23, there are many fine views of Mount Adams. This view shows the entire western face, with the three main summits clearly distinct. At left is the Pinnacle (12080 ft / 3682 m), at center the true summit (12307 ft / 3751 m), and at right the false summit, Pikers Peak (11657 ft / 3553 m). Our climbing route is the ridge along the right skyline. The Southwest Chutes angle down and right from the false summit. That's the goal for 1999!Trip Introduction | Previous Page | Next Page
