Peak-bag the Cascade classics
This madcap expedition from Seattle’s Mountain Madness tackles three Cascade summits and a total of 21,000 feet of elevation gain in a week. Individually, the routes are fairly beginner friendly, with roped glacier travel, low-grade climbing, and route-finding through icefalls.

July–Aug.; 7 days, from $1,800; mountainmadness.com
