would you be interested in Kautz? I can lead up to WI 3 and follow WI4+.
Experience wise I've spend probably 3 weeks total ice climbing in Canadian Rockies and Ouray. Summited Rainier 3 times from non technical routes. Would like try some harder routes in Rainier. I live in Vancouver BC.
I can do Fisher Chimney tomorrow, Friday or Saturday at the latest.
I went solo last week and got to the top of the ridge above the chimney however the Glacier was too sketchy to solo the rest of the way.
I'm in the early stages of planning an attempt on Manaslu/cho oyu. Possibly with another climber. We were looking at fall climbing season though. PM sent
Glacier freeze are you looking to do the entire DC in one shot from parking to summit? If so I'm game. I'm still acclimatized from Pik Lenin so It won't be difficult.
I'm avail from Aug 17-20
I soloed Wy'east/steel cliff back in end of March. Cooper spur looks in good cond from summit.
If you want to traverse then park at timberline and get a buddy to drive you to north side trail head.
