Adams Col

Type
Altitude
1940m

Adams Col is at I35 227627, not the col marked at 2071m on some maps. Access to the col is easy from the Garden of Eden at any time. On a fine day there is no better place to be on the planet. It is commonly used as a base for climbing on the Gardens, and there are low rockwalled campsites on rocky outcrops on the eastern side. Dont be fooled though if arriving in fine calm weather. The sites may look secure, but many parties have been stormed out of here with ripped tents. Wind can surge through here at phenomenal speeds with ice riming the rock, and hail lashing the col. Take care with rubbish and toileting here
