awesome I am definitely interested im looking into plane tickets and logistics for it all. What date do you think i should fly into portland if so? I have done a few climbs in ecuador and peru but I would say I am moderately experienced. I have yet to climb in the NW but I've been trying to get up there and climb for a while. I'm 23 and in great shape (i've been preparing to climb rainier that week for some time). My partner, unfortunately, was the one with the tent so i don't have that but I've got everything else as far as group gear if we need it. Are you ok with leading? What kind of experience do you have?
