	Adams Peak « jlorimer.org
		Adams Peak is Sri Lanka’s holiest mountain and is claimed by most of the country’s religions as the site where Adam/Buddha/Shiva/St Thomas came to earth.
		The one exception to this is Adams Peak, which rises like a mini-Matterhorn out of the surrounding tree-clad slopes.
		The peak has been a site of pilgrimage for over a thousand years and there is now a well maintained set of over 4500 steps that take you to the top.

	Adam's Peak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Adam's Peak (Sinhala Sri Pada, Tamil Sivanolipatha Malai, Arabic Al-Rohun) is a 2,243 metre (7,360 feet) tall conical mountain in modern-day Sri Lanka, revered as a holy site by Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims and Christians.
		The peak pilgrimage season is in April, and the goal is to be on top of the mountain at sunrise, when the distinctive shape of the mountain casts a triangular shadow on the surrounding plain and can be seen to move quickly downward as the sun rises.
		Muslim legend states that it is the footprint of Adam, who was placed in Sri Lanka as the next best thing to the Garden of Eden; from this comes the name Adam's Peak.

		Al Tabari in his great history of the world, asserts that the mountain was so high that "when Adam was cast upon it, his feet touched it while his head was in heaven and he heard the prayer and praise-giving of the angels".
		One of island Lanka's most important guardian deities is Mahasumana, Sumana or Saman, the guardian or the presiding deity of Sri Pada mountain or Sumanakuta (Adam's Peak), which the Buddhists treat as sacred on account of its bearing the impression of the Buddha's left foot, which he left on his third visit to the island.

		Heute ist der 2243 m hohe Adam`s Peak oder Sri Pada, der ähnlich einem Zuckerhut aus den grünen Hügeln des Hochlandes ragt, nicht mehr der höchste Berg Sri Lankas und seine geographische Bedeutung erheblich geschrumpft - nicht abgenommen hat jedoch sein spirituelle Höhe.
		Verehrt wird der Adam´s Peak schon seit Urzeiten, galt er doch schon für die Ureinwohner der Insel, den Veddas, als heilig.

		Adams Peak is the northernmost peak on the SPS list, and as such it doesn't really take in a particularly impressive panorama, views being mostly of the surrounding rolling forest.
		Adams had been a good bit more tiring than either of us had expected--I decided to blame Yamagata for his misleading notes that this area receives little snowfall.
		The creek was rushing quite strongly now, the warm sun rapidly melting the deep snowpack even in mid March, and I stopped a number of times to savour the experience on the way down--a Sierra creek during run-off is really a majestic sight, perhaps one of the finest in the range.

		Still, the peak wasn't going to climb itself, so after snapping a quick photo for posterity, I put the picture out of mind and headed off at about 4.15am, my LED headlamp weakly illuminating the trail, its batteries seemingly on their last legs after a summer of such excursions.
		The peak looks relatively close now in the photo I took--mostly because it looked pretty small if I didn't use the zoom, so the resulting picture was worthless--so it's probably difficult to imagine the sinking feeling I felt when I saw how much further I still had to go.
		Having visited nearby Sonora Peak and Stanislaus Peak previously, there were no surprises on this hike--it featured the same open hillsides, volcanic terrain, and expansive views, extending past Tower Peak all the way to Banner-Ritter and Lyell-Maclure in places.
