Bear-Redoubt-Spickard Loop Sept 9-14, or...?

[zloi]

Hi,

 

I'm looking for partner(s) for a N. Cascades loop trip to knock off some grudge peaks on my list. Projected route: trail entry from the north, climbing Bear first (easiest way--class 4), then traversing to Redoubt (easiest way--class 4), then over to Spickard (choice of routes, max. class 4), then back out via a good trail. Though these aren't technically difficult routes, am looking for somebody with climbing experience (we'll be taking a rope with light gear + glacier travel)--and back-country travel ability (there's a good bit of walking over trail-less terrain). This is a beautiful, particularly wild part of the Cascades, just the thing for anybody with a love of the outback. I'm trying to get Sept 15 off as well, for flexibility. If you are free in this time period but have some different objectives, let me know--I'm not absolutely wedded to this idea! (I wouldn't mind doing Formidable-Spider, for example, or maybe Goode).

 

Cheers to all!
