Mt. Adams South Spur, 2008-06-29
We went up to Lunch Counter ('9000) on Saturday afternoon and camped. Left for the summit at 6:40 AM Sunday, got to the summit at 9:40, were back at Lunch Counter at 11:15, and back at the car at 3:00. The road up to Cold Springs was closed about 3.5 miles from the trailhead, which added an annoying extra 7 miles.

Piker's Peak (false summit) from Lunch Counter. It doesn't look like it's that far up, but it's deceptive.
