eggplant Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 just wondering if some folks could throw out some suggestions. im trying to get started into some more alpine climbing, ive been climbing for a while at a decently high level, but just find myself cragging because of the convience. Im trying to get a list of easy to moderate alpine climbs around the cascades to get started. Thanks Quote
TrogdortheBurninator Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Pick up the 1st (or both) volume(s) of Jim Nelson's selected climbs in the cascades books. Look for climbs within your lead level (maybe drop a letter from you crag grades if you like), and pay attention to the approach ratings. The approach ratings give you a good idea of the remoteness of your objectives. There are a bunch of alpine climbs (WA Pass, Snoq. Pass, etc) with short approaches that provide a great introduction. This page is a great starting point: http://www.dramaticwriter.com/beginners.html Quote
