powderhound Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I have a three week window between mid May and mid June to go pretty much anywhere and money is not a huge concern. I would like the trip to have a climbing focus with the idea of my best bang for my buck. I have never climbed outside the contential US so I would like to go elsewhere. I am seeking adive for places to go during that time with either doing a all alpine trip ice/mixed... or a bunch of trad climbing on some longer single day multipitch routes.

montypiton Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 That's the best season for the Alaska Range. Long routes and midnight sun make a pretty appealing combination... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderhound Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 So alaksa woudl be a good place to go? Ruth Gorge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfinley Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Mid-late May will be pushing it for alpine routes in the Ruth; it can get pretty warm in there at that time. However June is a perfect time for a place like Little Switzerland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimbingPanther Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 The only place I've been with impressive mountains would be the Alps, but I would heartily recommend them, especially in Switzerland. What a wonderful place! Wish I was a climber when I visited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
