I'm new to mountaineering and this this forum. I've always been an avid hiker and outdoorsman and recently caught the mountaineering bug after successfully summiting Mt. Washington a few weeks ago. Since then I've been actively researching what my next climb will be and I'd like to hear your opinions on what mountains in the US are the best climbs. My group and I have been talking about Mt. Shasta, Mt. Hood and Mt. Rainier. How do these climbs compare to Mt. Washington and in regards to difficulty how would you rank them? Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
