2 day 1 night ascent of the Ruth - Icy Traverse in Washington. This is a visually stunning and engaging route. This is a mountaineering objective involving glacier travel and rappelling for descent, plus climbing over exposure.
Will pick the best 48hr window between the Friday and Sunday.
Sorry not for beginners. Absolutely must have mountaineering experience, crevasse rescue course, and experience with exposed climbing. Must be fit. This is an overnight trip - must have gear for overnighting on snow.
Trip is weather dependent. Good weather is a must for this one.
