I'm interested in climbing Mt Olympus for the end of June or possibly middle of July. I'm not too experienced (I've climbed Rainier and Hood and do lots of trail runs), but a strong hiker and want to learn more.

Hi: Thanks for your response. I am glad you are interested. Have you climbed Mt Olympus before? I've climbed Mt. Rainier, Mt. Hood, and Mt. Wilhelm (Papua New Guinea). I also do long solo trail runs and backpacking trips in the PNW. I have always wanted to climb Mt Olympus, as I have carried out extensive forest canopy research in the Olympic National Park (Hoh and Quinault), using mountainclimbing techniques to ascend tall trees. My dates at this point are flexible, but I'd like to nail down some dates to make sure they stay free, as I do a lot of travelling. I am not teaching this summer (I am a forest ecology professor at the Evergreen State College), so am able to set aside time. Thanks! nalini

I am an intermediate climber who very much wants to climb Mt Olympus this summer, sometime between June 22-July 7. I live in Olympia, WA. If anyone is organizing a trip around that time, please let me know. I am a forest ecologist and know a lot about plants, animals, fungi, and soils of the region. Thanks.

I'm interested in climbing Mt. Olympus between either Aug 15-22 or Aug. 29-Sept. 11. I've done some alpine climbing (Mt. Rainier twice, The Brothers), and lots of trail running, but would like to climb with others who are experienced. Thanks. Nalini
