Trip Recommondations

I am going to be in the Pacific Northwest the first week in July and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to where, if it exists that late in the year, there could be some alpine ice to climb for the week? Ideally, long routes of moderate ice (grade 5 or less). Thanks in advance to any suggestions.

North ridge of Baker possibly.

NORTH CASCADES. I would say: avoid the poop chutes and go climb something gnar up north. Plenty of options. Not many people. Stunning views.

That is typically a good time of year for that type of climbing - weather during your visit could be the limiting factor.

 

Several classic North Faces are Buckner, Maude, Shuksan and Redoubt. Get some guidebooks (Beckey or Nelson) and/or dig into old trip reports for details.
