Hey all,
I'm looking for a buddy to climb shasta with me in early August. I haven't been on Shasta, but I have some experience with glacier climbing and know the technical systems and whatnot. I'd like to do one of the glaciated routes, preferably the Whitney Glacier, or Cascade Gulch (moving onto the Whitney Glacier when we reach the saddle between Shasta and Shastina). I'm looking for someone with some glacier experience to climb one of those routes with me in early to mid August. I'd also be down to do a get-to-know-each-other hike in the Bay Area, such as Mount Tam or something of similar or greater difficulty.
