Hey Everyone,

I am very interested in doing the mountaineers route. Eventually a winter ascent would be great, but for now I just want to do it in the summer. I've been on top of Whitney already, have plenty of experience with altitude, and have a bit of climbing experience. I'm not that concerned with the technical aspects of the mountaineer's route, but I would still prefer to not go solo on my first attempt. I'd also appreciate being guided up the first section since I know the route finding there can be a little tricky.

So, if anyone is kind enough to offer to let me tag along on a hike, please send me an email at schmalz@gmail.com and we can discuss further. Thanks!

Brian
