Wow, theres a lot of info here about this route! Its all quite interesting actually, many thanks. I am coming out to Washington for my brothers wedding, sadly it is not a full climbing road trip. My friend who has never been to Washington is really excited to try this route because it is so long and she has never been on anything this lonng before and also because it is so moderate with the option to rap off whenever. I thought it sounded fun as well, I just had a baby so Im not in tip top form right now and want low stress. last summer I climbed half dome (6 weeks pregnant!) and that was high stess for sure. It does sound like a lot of raps, broiling hot and hard to route find in spots. I think we will still do it but we will have more than one day to climb as well so I will look into the other areas you guys have mentioned!
