Trip
Intermediate Alpine Climb - Mount Adams/Adams Glacier
This will be my first intermediate climb lead. Hoping for a good weather window, stable snowpack, and a long, steep, uneventful boot-pack in a beautiful setting.

I've been speaking with multiple climbing partners about this trip offline, so an informal waiting list exists. I ask your forgiveness in advance for not necessarily taking a first-come-first-served approach to populating this roster. That said - if you are interested in this route, like to be part of a team of equals, and are up to the challenge please let me know!
We will work as a team using videoconferences to jointly conduct all planning. Planning Zoom meetings will likely begin the week of June 1st.
