For a few years now, some friends and I have been doing winter backpacking trips. We're all rock climbers and have done pretty decent hiking routes. This winter we were considering taking it up a notch and doing something in the rockies. We'd like to do a mountain, but aren't sure we have the proper experience for a winter summit.
My question is this: Can a group with our level of experience expect to find any kind of success by employing a guide or other type of service to get up a summit? Or do you think we, who are experienced in somewhat related fields, could fare alright on a lesser climb?
Any info or advice you could give would be much appreciated. Info we're looking for includes good novice winter hikes/climbs/summits and any resources for finding a guide service. Or simply the level of experience necessary for a lower level summit. We're only trying to figure out what our options are.
Thanks.
