  1. this upcoming summer, i hope to sharpen my alpine rock skills and am looking for someone or a group of someones to let me tag along. i have the basics down, but just need to practice so that someday, soon, i can lead some low-to-mid 5th routes. looking to climb 5.0-5.8 alpine routes. in the past 3 years (which included a major hip fracture), i've summitted ~200+ peaks in WA, some technical, but most just scrambles. i have all-day endurance and speed and have respected climbing partners to vouch for my abilities. i normally post on nwhikers, so here's a link to my individual TRs: http://www.nwhikers.net/forums/search.php?search_id=TR&search_author=iron i have 98% of the necessary gear (probably missing some pro), can drive, and should have all weekends available.
  2. john, you have balls of steel to drop into that couloir. hopefully my pictures will add some perspective.
  3. guys. i put up a TR on nwhikers. in there, you'll find a photo or two of you climbing: http://www.nwhikers.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7981553

  5. wow. when we saw you guys climbing that face, i could hardly believe it. i need to upload some pictures i took, but here are some from my girlfriend: http://picasaweb.google.com/carriejohnson19/HeadedForSnowfield22010
  6. nice work guys. when i was awoken in the tent around 7:30a that morning by the sounds of "OFF BELAY," i thought, huh? is someone climbing out there? unzipped the tent, peered over, and there you were. i could hardly believe what i was looking at. strong work on what appeared to be a daunting and imposing face. i'm glad our prints helped you out. i'll say this... it was tough trodding through that snow. i don't often tire, but i certainly was on this trip. we ended up bailing on our attempt for snowfield because of the traverse beneath the gully. next time!
  7. not sure if this is the right forum to place this in, but i wanted to see if anyone was up for climbing on thursday, march 19, 2009 around 7:00p. i climb 5.8-5.11 typically, but am flexible to do other routes. mike
