Strenuous two day glacier climb with incredible views of the North Cascades. Second day is pretty long with a lot of elevation gain and loss in varied terrain. We will go at a consistent pace.

I may have spot open for Non-SIG climbers, please reach out to me around late May. Please share your fitness level and the recent alpine and glacier climbs you've done (attempts or summited doesn't matter).
