- WTA description of Mount Adams south climb
- Mount Adams climbing permits, required May 1-September 30. October 1-April 30, self-issue a wilderness permit instead.
- We took South Climb Trail #183, starting at about 5600'; about 6700' to true summit which is at 12276'; it's about 6000' to false summit.
- Forest Roads 80 and 8040. FR 80 is a paved road leading to FR 8040 which is gravel and extremely rough as it approaches the South Climb trailhead. FR 8040 is not plowed. Snow level can descend to 2500' so a winter approach to Mt. Adams could involve miles of road slogging. The road is usually snow-free by July 1.
