First of all thank you very much for your replyes.
We are fit, but I wouldn't call us athlets, I usually hike 2000 vert. meters in just over 3 hours and run 12 k in 65 minuts. I did a few glaciers here in the Alps, so I'm familiar to glacier travel, know the basic manuvers, but still, I would't call myself an expert.
I'll look up some of the names you posted here, and if anyone is arround Seattle, Portland or Leavenwoth from the 25th on We'd love to get together for a beer and some beta.
