*shrug* - Figure another thread isn't gonna hurt anyone. Plus, I wanna spray too...

Got two trips to the North Cascades planned (hooray!!!) - a hopeful couple of ski descents in June and a "little" traverse in August.

Anyone else shirking altitude-myopia for aesthetic routes at lower elevations?

Which traverse? Pickets?

I hope to get some desert stuff done before it gets to hot. Whatever I can find partners for and whatever isn't too hard for my ability.

Now we have a thread on <1K, 13ers, and 14ers, but the poor 10,000' to 12999' peaks are being left out.
I'm old, slow and fat. Unfortunately, those are my good qualities.

I am hoping to climb Broken Top or Thielson in Oregon.

Thielsen is a blast. You should do Mt. Washington too.

I was thinking of flying into Eugene and spending a three day weekend out there. Wow after reading about Washington it looks like an awesome time! I'll have to put it on my list as well. TBH I dream more about climbing in other states than CO/Canada more than I do about my Colorado climbs. Sinopah Mountain in MT is on my list with a lot of others near Glacier. So many mountains, not nearly enough time. :(

1- Finish the Indian Peaks Wilderness. (Finally.) Luckily, I have mainly the "easier" accessible east peaks left...so hopefully won't be too tough to finish up.

2- I would also say to finish the Lost Creek Wilderness with the last 3-4 I have left, but those last two Goose Creek 9ers will be tough.

3- Take my daughter on her first 11K+ peak. (She's only 2 1/2....aiming low.)

Boulder's Green Mountain x 100. I'm at 26 or so for the year. I think Cordis is around 40-mumble. Helps the trail head is outside my door. Does not help that it's quite a slog. The trench helps. Which reminds me, I better finish up at $WORK and get going...

Depends on how long you waited after pigging out at Shoneys. I'm guessing mt Collins and Mt Love are somewhere near the Smokeys?

I'll be happy with any new Ultra prominence peak I happen to come across this spring/summer
