Favorite Climbs!

Here are a couple of the climbs we are planning, or have previously attempted:

Planned: April 25th, 2008



Mt. Whitney, CA
Summit Elevation: 14,505 feet
Location: California, USA
Coordinates:36°34′42.9″N 118°17′31.2″W / 36.578583, -118.292

Notes: Although this is the highest point in the lower 48, we anticipate that this will be a warm-up climb/hike for the season. We are still debating our route, however, the easier route is a Class 1 climb, meaning it is long, but not technically challenging.

Planned: June 25th, 2008


Mt. Adams, WA
Summit Elevation: 12,276 ft
Location: Washington State

Coordinates: 46°12′08.68″N 121°29′27.22″W / 46.2024111, -121.4908944

Notes: This is our home mountain, it is a fun climb. We've climbed this one twice before, but unfortunately never climbed beyond the false summit because of bad weather. Some pictures of past climbs are included here: My Adams Entries


Planned: July 25th, 2008



Mt. Rainier, WA
Summit Elevation: 14,411 ft
Location: Washington State
Coordinates: 46°51′11.9″N 121°45′35.6″W / 46.853306, -121.759889

Notes: For me, this is the big one and I'm pretty excited about it. I'm looking forward to more glacier experience, and getting some training from the pros. Should be a great end for the 2008 climbing season. Now for 2009 ...

Climbed: June, 2007




Mt. Shasta
Summit Elevation: 14,179 ft
Location: California
Coordinates:41°24′33.11″N 122°11′41.60″W / 41.4091972, -122.1948889

Notes: We summitted this one in 2007. This is a great climb, especially since Mt. Shasta is so prominent as you travel in northern CA. I have several Shasta entries here: Shasta Stuff
