I attempted to climb the trade route last January but ended up spending three days in the hut at 15,000 ft while a blizzard dumped several new feet of snow on the mtn. This season, my partner isn't available so I'm considering options to get up that peak. Haven't climbed that much water ice, so I probably wouldn't be interested in doing ten pitches to start out, but if you wanted to consider another route I could be interested. I'm in Seattle.
