again.

After {I hesitate to say} a failed attempt at summiting Mt. Adams, Bess and I have decided to give it another go. Just us. And possibly Lisa. September 7. The boys have already conquered it. They aren't interested.

Throughout our bike trip we could see Mt. Adams in the distance and noted significantly less snow. We've decided that with a GPS in hand and probably other climbers around us, we should be able to navigate our way to the top - weather permitting. Maybe this time I'll actually use the provided "deposit" kit.

Notice the included target. It advises you to place either a rock or some snow on the corners to secure it.
