Beginner Alpine Climbs

[Tiger Lily]

I'm very new to alpine climbing and am looking for some good beginner routes in the Cascades. I haven't taken any alpine courses but work on a high ropes course. I summitted Mt. Rainier via the Disappointment Cleaver Route with RMI last year and summitted the South Spur of Mt. Adams this past fall.

I've been thinking about:

--Hogsback on Mt. Hood

--Mt. Baker's Easton Glacier

--Mt. Angeles (Olympics) in the winter

 

Any input or other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Mount Hood: South route/Hogsback

 

Mount Baker: Coleman-Demming, Boulder Glacier, and Easton Glacier

 

Mt Shuksan : Fisher Chimneys, Sulphide Glacier

 

Ruth-Icy Traverse has amazing views.

 

Eldorado: East Ridge

 

Sahale: Quien Sabe Glacier

 

Colchuck Peak: Colchuck Glacier

throw in a healthy dose of cragging rock climbing and some ice climbing to wi-3. A solid technical base makes everything in the alpine a little bit easier.

Cooper Spur on Hood

East Peak on Ingalls

(I kind of don't like recommending Cooper Spur because, while it is scenic, using it as a decent route is notorious for its run-out and history of accidents.)
