Very nice! Baker or Adams is sort of on my to-do list. A number of professional guides go to them and don't require any technical experience. I'd like to get to those altitudes myself to see how I cope with higher altitudes. 4000-5000' just doesn't see much difference in oxygen compared to home (1000'). Having a guide would take away my uncertainty in a new area.

The weather on Mount Saint Helen's looks amazing tomorrow! Then a pretty strong front at the end of the week. Looks like a 6000' ascent in six miles from Peakbagger ascents? I'd love to hear a trip report from it. A tree line 2500' below the summit is totally foreign to me, too. It's probably 700' on Marcy.

Sound like some wonderful plans.
