Wind Rivers: Gannett Pk

I had to cancel a trip into the Winds in June. There is still a lot of snow up there. Am now looking for an experienced, motivated partner to go in mid-July to climb Gannett by the N Ridge. Could also do the Triple Traverse (Warren, Doublet & Dinwoody,) a nice mixed climb. There must be someone who still likes to alpine climb!

I saw your post and thought you might be interested in a Teton Trip. I have 5 days July 29th to Aug.3rd and am wanting to climb The CMC route on Mt. Moran. I would be interested in a winds trip but I would need to do some reasearch before I commit. What is your climbing background?

Thanks for the response. Since I live in the Tetons, I've done all the standard routes like the CMC multiple times so I don't have much interest there. I'm now seeking the lesser-climbed routes or repeating some of the harder Teton climbs, but that should be a separate post for me.
One of my objectives this year was to climb Gannett by some-other-than-the-Gooseneck route. The N Face appeals to me; if anyone out there has a similar interest, please reply. Originally, we were going to have a packer drop supplies for a week of climbing in that area as it's a long approach for one peak. If I can't find a partner for July, I may try to go in late Aug/early Sept when the routes will be ice climbs.
My climbing background is extensive in the Sierra, Cascades, Tetons, Winds, Wasatch. I've been climbing for 40 years now, but at age 61 I'm not leading 5.10 overhangs much anymore. I am very competent on rock, ice, snow and have good mountain sense.
