Hi! I'm Christian and I am a 21 year old college student. I go to Seattle U and play on the soccer team. I am looking for a climbing/skiing partner for the spring and summer. I took an alpine climbing course last summer, done a NOLS semester which consisted of two weeks of climbing in Colorado and Wyoming as well as a fair bit backcountry skiing in the Bridger-Teton NF area. I have a WFR certificate and also have my AIARE but I took it two years ago and probably need a fresher or two on a few things. I would love to learn more about climbing and explore more areas in Washington. Thanks!

@bedellympianConsider going for the second (?) ascent of any these routes in the Cascades? Access seems like a pain for most of these (especially without a sled), and obviously conditions are king, but the time of year you're looking at seems about right. NW Face of Chiwawa (Intravenous): Summit Chief North Face: Any of the lines on Buck Mountain North Face, e.g.:

Look into Granite Lake ice climbing in the Cabinets Mts of Montana. It is a fat year this year and typically the end of March is pretty good in there (baring we don't get a crazy warm up in the next couple weeks).

No, but I was up today with @cfire and @kmfoerster.... knee deep trailbreaking, waist deep off the skis. It was......good.
