Washington State Nine-Thousanders

[Alpinsanity]

Looking for experienced climbers interested in any of Washington's nine-thousanders. I have already been up Stuart's North Ridge to the gendarme, in crappy conditions, and was turned back. Haven't been up any of the others. I have listed the peaks from highest to lowest elevation, with routes I am interested in. I have 16 years of alpine and rock climbing experience, can lead up to 5.9 trad, and have all the gear needed to get up just about anything around here. I am in pretty decent shape, and have transportation as well. Been having a major lack of partners able to commit to any plans lately, and really need to get out this summer. I am in the Seattle area, and I have a Mon.-Fri. work schedule, but can take time off during the week with a little advance notice. I have also listed a few other peaks/routes that I would be happy to get on, and a few I have already been up. PM me if anything looks good to you. Thanks.

I'd love to join you on a couple of them if you are fine climbing with a 17-year-old. I lead trad to 5.8 and I have gear- I'm up for anything but chossy unprotectable scarefests (e.g. Jack Mountain.)
