Thanks to everyone for all for the advice. I will do some research into Mt Adams south face. One more quick question: will we need to rent crampons/ice axe to do this summit or can we just dig our hiking boots into the slush and scramble up in the steep areas? I know when i went to muir (my only experience to base anything on) people had on crampons but i didn't see the need. Is this similar? As for this Pink character, you need an attitude adjustment. I knew I was at muir because it was a built up camp and i asked other guided groups as i passed them on my ascent up the snow fields. Don't think you're better then me just because you have more experience. I wouldn't trade my physical prowess for your experience under any circumstance. With a map, a little common sense, and determination anything is possible. I don't think I'm attemping anything stupid here, that is why I'm asking for advice.

I'm in pretty good shape and athletic. a few years ago my buddy and i were hiking in mt rainier and i decided to hike to camp muir and i did it in tennis shoes in about 3.5 hours. i was afraid to go any further because i didn't have a guide. Question: I'm trying to get a bunch a buddies together this June (all are in shape but with no climbing experience) and we want to summit a nothern cascade peak without a guide and in one day. Can anyone provide me with the name of a mountain to do this. Again, we don't have climbing experience but we could all climb to muir in 3-4 hours like i did with ease and zero training. Please let me know. Thanks
