Will be in bay area for xmas time, and climbing as much as possible from Jan. 6 - Jan. 13. Planning a few days on shasta, then weather permitting I'd like to get some serious Sierra alpine routes in. Not up on the beta in the area. So I'm looking for partner or partners who know the region. Would be quite willing to scrap the shasta idea in favor of longer Sierra route (4-5 days, ridge traverse somewhere???). email me at . cheers, -J
