[alpine_freak]

So I have checked off the Tooth, and now Ingalls Peak. Where to climb next? Does anyone have some good suggestions, for a newcomer to the world of alpine climbing? Take it easy one me (5.5 - 5.7) Thanks

Kind of a bigger step, but start checking out the W. Ridge of Forbidden.

Mt. Constance in the Olympics. It gives you a little bit of everything and will challenge your route finding skills.

Dierdre in Squamish.

N face of Vesper (glacier xing reqd).

 

Drive to CA and climb the Snake Dike on Half Dome.

 

btw, Mt Constance is now one heck of a day trip because the road was washed out, adding an extra 3 miles and another 1000 vert ft. Still a great peak, though non-technical. Leave ropes at home, bring helmet for scree landing on your partner's head.

 

Note, many alpine routes in this range involve long run-outs and/or soloing lots of 4th to easy 5th class.

 

My 2 cents: Mt Thompson West ridge is a worthless pile of rubble waiting to crumble in your hand. Spend your time elsewhere.

 

Have fun.
