Please let me know what recommendations you have for a late winter (early March) climb in Alaska. General relevant info: I'll be flying in from Talkeetna, so it should be in Denali Nat'l Park. This is my 5th climbing trip to Alaska, but first this early in the season (previous earliest was late April). I have 5 days out in the mountains, so time is limited. I'll be with a guide. Other Alaskan climbs/attempts: West Rib Denali, West Ridge Hunter, Ham & Eggs (Mooses Tooth), Mt. Francis, Annie's Peak, Radio Control Tower, nowhere on Mt. Huntington. Looking for something comparable in technical aspects, accepting things will be harder due to colder weather. Considering Dan Beard and maybe Kahiltna Queen or 12200, but I am open to thoughts/suggestions from those who know the area better than me. Thanks for any useful input.

I'd think about the Ruth and/or Little Switz for that time of year.

Thanks. That certainly opens a ton of climbs. Any specific recommendations on mountains/routes? For what it's worth, my hope is to have a few options, and then decide upon flying in with TAT based upon conditions (I would rather do a kick-ass and fun/adventurous climb than sit and wait for conditions on a specific climb - as I have done before).
