How to find mountaineering routes
Posted: Sat Jun 09, 2012 12:22 am
I'm a little new to this so please excuse me if I use incorrect terminology. I guess that's a part of my question, really.
I made a first attempt of the West Face Gully on Shasta a couple of weeks ago and I'm going back next weekend for a second attempt. I really enjoyed it.
Any suggestions on resources for finding similar climbs elsewhere in California? By similar I mean moderate to steep snow, no vertical water ice and generally not too technical (let's say up to PD+).
All the books I find on Google and Amazon seem to give vertical water ice routes or long class 3/4/5 mountaineering rock routes. While I'm interested in doing these things eventually, I would really like to do more snow.
Hints?
