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.

We will work as a team using videoconferences to jointly conduct all planning. Planning Zoom meetings will likely begin the week of June 1st.
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!
