All good stuff. Thanks to everyone for their input! NW Ridge may take it. Although a change of venue may be in order as well.

sweet, thanks buddy. Which do you recommend?

Are there any peaks worth the effort in late August? I was thinking of taking a newbie friend up Mt. Adams but I am re-thinking. Is Adams dangerous without snow like Hood's circus route would be?

Is Mt. Adams even worth the trip this late? Or is it more St.Helens-esque (miles of gravel slogging)?
