Extended Alpine Outing 7/30-8/7

[zloi]

I have a long week off and am looking for a partner(s) for an extended alpine traverse or exploratory route. Some ideas I have in mind: Mystery Ridge traverse Despair-Mt. Blum (N. Cascades, Beckey vol 3); Bear-Mt-Redoubt-Spickard (N. Cascades, Beckey vol 3); some routes in southern BC: Dickson Range; Monmouth Mt area; Purcell Mts. Also would consider doing the reg route on Bonanza, if it's still viable then, OR some suggestion of your own (NB: I'm not interested in the Ptarmigan or Bailey Range traverses). While these routes are only mildly technical, they do presume some familiarity with glaciers & rope management, at least 4th class rock, remote travel, etc. If you are interested but need more route information, I can certainly provide that. I have a lot of alpine experience, and am still reasonably fast and fit for a guy in his mid-50s.
