Beg. Walk-Up Climbs? Mt. Baker?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Mountaineering : One Thread

I'm interested in doing a beginner, guided mountain climb. I'm looking for climbs without rock climbing/sheer drop type stuff --- I'm afraid of heights when I don't have solid ground under my feet!!!I recently saw a post that listed several "walk-up climbs" like Mt. Whitney (Whitney looks great, but I'm a little scared of the "windows" areas with their sheer drops on both sides). I can't remember any of the others. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm also considering Mt. Baker. I'm 35, in great physical condition (run 10Ks, work out) - but will need some altitude training (not much altitude her in Georgia!). I'm open to any/all suggestions and help. Thanks!
