Hello all,
My brother is getting married in Nederland on May 19 in a few months and I'd like to plan something for the week after. I realize a lot depends on weather so having a few options would be good going into it. I would be looking for something that includes a night or two in the backcountry.
If there is a lot of snow I really have no experience with snow/glacier travel other than snowshoeing to Inspiration Point in Yosemite (with a lot of snow) and crossing a few glaciers on the way up Middle Teton (which felt very sketchy although I didn't have spikes at the time). I have an ice axe/snowspikes but my experience is far from extensive and if I was looking at going up something with snow it would have to be more of a beginner style ascent with no danger of monstrous avalanches or other stuff you encounter on hardcore winter climbs like crevasses and such. I understand self arrest but have no experience with ropes so anything super technical is out.
On the flipside if snow/glacier travel is not an issue I enjoy class 3/low class 4 scrambling and climbing. The only real mountains I've done are Hagues Peak (with 2 others) and Middle Teton (solo) so I'm looking for something similar to those in terms of ruggedness and difficulty.
Soooo, any suggestions for good mountains that might be suitable for climbing at my level in May would be much appreciated. Feel free to include any in WY that you know of as I'll be willing to drive a decent distance from Ned.
