Mid-July Cascades Trip

[IceScrewed]

As I know most of you don't have strong opinions, I thought I'd ask anyway. So a friend is coming from Wyoming and unfotunately I didn't get the permits to the Enchantments I wanted (yes, lost yet another lottery). I thought that we could do the NW Face of Forbidden and one of the N routes on Buckner no sweat as those permits are readily available (as opposed to Boston Basin). Also we'd have to include Snow Creek Wall (Outer Space) but would love to do N Ridge of Stuart (sorry--can't do it in a day: any ideas for how to do this? Anyone have experience with the daily 7:30 lottery? Also, we have many other days to fill. Ideas on where you'd go for high quality alpine routes up to 5.9?

Your considered opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Asked a similar question about Stuart few years ago. Here's the sage advice from the locals:

AOC,

Thanks very much for the informative thread on Stuart and permits. Hopefully I'll get other input on best routes (there must be a prior thread for that one too?!)
