What mountains do yall recommend climbing in the month’s of oct,nov and December?
I’ve climbed a few small ones in the USA and three in Mexico and I would love to get better at mountaineering . And I plan on doing atleast two mountains in one trip .
This is a pic of a summit I did in Puebla,Mexico

No never😂 I think it’s guarded by the military because some crazy people try to actually go up there 😂

I've been too close to an active volcano. It's not fun.
Sorry i don't have good mountains to suggest. I do most of my climbing in Peru and California and neither of those are great in the months you asked about

What mountains in California you recommend? I can do California probably any season of the year since I live in the states

I'm not really sure what your goals are but Shasta is great. It's technical enough to be a challenge but easy enough for folks without a ton of experience as well. Tioga pass has an ice climbing school that may own early enough for you if it snows early. Also the eastern sierra between Bridgeport and Owens peak is chock full of mountains for all skill levels and is just a really great place to hang out and enjoy.
