I definitely think were on the same page. I've done many alpine scrambles (Mt. Adams, Sahale Peak, Mt. Buckner, Dragontail Peak etc.) and have recently broken into technical climbing. I just lack a solid group of partners who also desire to step their game up. I have the necessary winter gear, knowledge, and a strong ambition to climb just about anything in the winter, rock, ice, big mountain, ski mountaineering routes etc. I've got no issues with alpine bivvies on high icy ledges or single push marathons. I'm in great shape and hope we can get together!! -Josh
