Hi guys,I just moved to Portland from Europe and can`t wait to start climbing the cascades.I`m available pretty much whole spring/summer,just one problem,don`t have that many climbing partners here. I`m 38,very fit,safe and easy going,feel confident leading on ice/snow till 50-70 degrees (I follow steeper than that).
I`m not looking to do extreme routes,just want to get out there and have fun doing it.
Mostly climbed in the Alps (Chamonix),spent a lot of time in the PNW and climbed,Hood,Jefferson,Adams,Rainier,Shasta,...climbed Denali last year with a friend of mine from Europe,taking the upper West rib.
Goals I have this year: Hood (N side or Leuthold) Mt Baker N ridge, Mt Adams (Mazama glacier headwall) ,Mt Jefferson (Jefferson park glacier) Mt Rainier (Liberty ridge),Glacier peak,Mt Olympus,...
Let me know if you want to get out,or want some more info about myself
Enjoy,be safe!
