Ahh...experience. That is going to be the elephant in the room. I am most experienced, but I don't have any ice climbing experience. Rock, top rope, rescue, and repelling both above and below ground (caves).

The highest I've hiked vs 'walked' as one poster described it is around 3k.
Ranier was a rigorous hike, but not climbing.
Most likely this would be for next year, but start training and other climbs this year.
Unless, of course, we wanted to be 'Sourdoughs' ;)
I'd like to hear some stories and challenges from those experienced in this or similar treks. I find it most interesting and helpful to identify and then quantify the main issues, then make a plan to be prepared to overcome those issues.
Not to mention it would be VERY INTERESTING to hear and see pics!
