Rock climbing or mountaineering? There is a bit of rock climbing right out of Girdwood off the main highway but nothing that I remember would be worth extending your trip (IMHO). Unless your really into mediocre sport climbs. If you are looking to bag some peaks then you might just want to stay till winter sets in.

Anybody know much about Linear Accelerator in August? I hiked back there a few times last fall but the clouds never lifted. Specifically, do you need two ice tools? Two ropes? Rock shoes? Pins? Much more than a few nuts and little cams? I've heard it's 5.6, but how sustained? I guess these are all things I'll have to find out for myself, but I sure would love to have a lighter pack tromping up that trail!
