Everyone-- Thank you for the great advice! Rad-- Thank you for the warning, weather can be very scary. I have climbed Shuskan North face, early winter spires, and Colchuck Glacier route so far in the cascades, I have more ice and snow alpine experience, doing most of my climbing in New Hampshire, but I have also gone up to altitude on mt Elbrus in russia, I appreciate all of the great suggestions, and if my experience gives anyone any more good ideas, I would love to hear them!! Thanks for the warm welcome to the cascades!

typo: I meant to say 5.0-5.7 not 5.6-5.7. I am just up for getting out there, I want to climb it all!

5.9 or below, moderate classics are what I am hoping for, ideally around 5.6-5.7. I am more comfortable on ice and snow than rock.

Hello! I am new to the west coast, and I unfortunately have an awful work schedule that currently does not allow me more than one day climbs at the moment, but I am still trying to get out as much as possible, so I was hoping for some suggestions for one days climbs in the cascades to get my feet wet in these magnificent cascades!

Hello Cascade climbers! I just moved here from Boston where I have been primarily an ice climber, with several jaunts to higher peaks around the globe including Mt Elbrus in Russia, An extended journey through the Chugach in Alaska, and some exploring in the North Cascades. I would love to get out and bag something this friday, I am not the strongest rock climber, but I am a fast learner, and have most of a trad rack, can lead up to 5.4 or so on trad, can follow 5.8-9ish. I am however a strong ice climber, with leads up to WI-4.... Not that it helps in the summer so much... I am also very comfortable on steep snow and glaciers. If unavailable, does anyone perhaps have any suggestions for a fun solo climb? Thanks! James
