If you're going via Long's Pass the descent to the valley floor seems about the diciest bit.

Just found and read the whole thread (well, I certainly looked at every page...) and what a thrill ride. Points to Lituya for nice apology and restatement. Yes, both Patrick and Reilly are institutions around here, there's a whole lot back behind this thread than seems apparent to the casual reader.
Glad to hear you're coming around in your goals Patrick. I'd think your next order of business after a plane ticket is a partner, and you can fine tune the objective from there.
Donini's N Ridge Stuart suggestion is solid: memorable route in a great setting, good rock, you'll get a little snow, and you'll be all over the mountain. Come in Ingalls Pass & Goat Pass, descend the Cascadian & back out over Longs Pass. Late July can make the north side descent down Sherpa Couloir kinda dodgy and less than casual, and other descents back to the Mountaineer Creek approach benefit from previous experience. You'll sleep at least once on that outing, don't be surprised if you do it twice.

I am local and if you need a partner I am willing. I live near North Bend. I have not been doing a lot of climbing lately but I am trying to get back into it. I used to climb a fair bit, been up a few peaks. Ping me if you need a partner. We can swap lies and see if it might work.
Edit: I grew up in the area but did the bulk of my climbing in Ca. Moved back a year and a half ago and I am trying to get out and experience the area.
