Beginner Scrambles

Looking for some hikes to build scramble experience

So far have done Mt Si haystack and Kaleetan Peak. What are some comparable hikes/scrambles?

Mount Forgotten, Wallaby Peak, Hadley Peak, Mount Daniel, Cashmere Mountain (get good route info), Gothic Peak, Red Mountain (near Snoqualmie Pass), Mount Pugh, Tamanos Mountain, Pinnacle Peak.

I've done dozens of scrambles all over the state. Feel free to pick my brain if you want to chat about ideas. You should also check out "Washington Scrambles" by Peggy Goldman which has 100 great scrambles listed with difficulty. I have a crazy schedule but I'd be happy to join you on a scramble if you want some company, especially since it's nice to have someone if you start wanting to push your comfort zone

Hibox would be a good one.

hibox is great - you can spend an hour or whatever going up and down the summit gulley on progressively more challenging routes if you really want an opportunity for scrambling practice

Any peak in the Teanaways. Link up 2 or 3 by scrambling across the ridge between them. Bean Peak to Earl Peak is a fun one to start with.
