Looking for a Backpack/Climb for Wifey and Me
Posted: Wed Dec 30, 2009 8:25 pm
My wife is looking for a goal to motivate her to lose some weight. She mentioned she might like to hike/climb with me. I suggested something along the lines of a three day, two night backpack/climb of Mount Langley in the Sierra. She didn't like the idea because I'd already been there. So now I ask for your help in a possible climb with the following criteria:
- - Air travel from Dallas/Fort Worth, TX preferred
- Minimum 3 days - One (or more) day in, one day climb, one (or more) day out
- Ideally we would set a "base camp" for the climb so we'd only need days packs
- Level of difficulty - Walk up, similar to Mount Audubon, Mount Langley, Taqhuitz Peak, Wheeler peak (NM), etc.
- Does not need to be a particularly "special" mountain (i.e. 14er, high point)
- Wilderness preferred (i.e. not a developed forest service campground)
- Some snow is OK but glacier is not (consider her a beginner)
- Quality of the experience is very important
