I'm game for both Hotlum (from Brewer Creek) and Bolum Glaciers. Though I am busy the next two weekends after this one. The next three look good though.
Also game for winter Whitney.

There is only one mountain in the contiguous US I would climb as often as Shasta if its location was more convenient: MT Rainier. Over the last trip to Shasta I realized that it is easier for me to climb Rainier than Shasta. I think the seriousness of Rainier has something to do with that.
