Mt. Washington - Olympics (moderate pace, solid snow and rock skills)

DEPENDENT ON WEATHER AND CONDITIONS, MAY BE RESCHEDULE OR CANCELLED IF CONDITIONS NOT FAVORABLE. I was planning to post this next weekend, but feel it would be a better alternative to Davis Peak. Mt Washington (not the one along 1-90) sits at the front of the Olympic Range to the Northeast of Mt Ellinor. It is short in distance, but relatively steep with mixed, snow, ice and rock conditions. It involves going up steep snow chutes, crossing moats and traversing along exposed class 3+ terrain. But the reward is an amazing climb and hopefully an amazing view.

Stats:
Distance: 6+ miles
Highest Elevation gain: 6,255 feet
Elevation: 3,000+ feet

I'm looking for a team of 3 to 4 capable people to join me. All participants should be comfortable with steep mixed (snow, ice, and rock) terrain, and exposure. We may also set up a running belay or handline in steep sections depending on people's comfort level. Participants should be ok going at a moderate (not fast) pace, and able to pack in team gear as necessary.

The Plan (subject to change):

Saturday
5:00 AM Meet at the Park and Ride and arrange carpools. I would like to be at the trail by 8 AM at the latest. Have your bags packed and ready to go once we arrive. I will be coming from North Seattle, and can give people a ride along the way. It should be a 2-3 hour drive each way, depending on traffic.

I'm hoping to arrive at the summit by early afternoon. Plan to spend at least a half hour at the summit eating food and enjoying the view and fruits of your accomplishments.

We should arrive back at the trailhead by late afternoon, but always be prepared in case we arrive later.
ALSO, I AM OPEN TO ATTEMPTING THE TRAVERSE FROM MT WASHINGTON TO MT ELLINOR. WE CAN DISCUSS THIS AMONGST THE GROUP IF PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED, BUT IT WILL ULTIMATELY DEPEND ON TIME AND CONDITIONS.

What to bring:

Pack, warm clothing layers (expect rain, snow, and wind), hiking or mountaineering boots, crampons, helmet, ice axe (I would recommend to bring a second ice axe if you are less comfortable on steep snow slopes, but it's your call), snowshoes, hiking poles, navigation: map, compass, and GPS if you have it, emergency bivy, food and water for the day (2-3 liters minimum), sun protection, headlamp, Sit pad, 10 essentials not already mentioned. I can lend gear if you need something. Drivers should have directions and NW forest pass or equivalent. We may not need all this equipment, but better to have it.
Everyone bring good cheer!
