Any suggestions free camping with good access to climbing? Preferably in washington/oregon? Just looking for a good spot to do some LNT camping and climbing. If you don't wanna spill the beans to the whole world I will take suggestions via pm too

yea still awaiting the word.. email me.

I havn't made it up there, mostly because its very sport climbing.

Thanks, I have have doing that and I do have some great books to use for reference.

I have to wait and see if I am fishing saturday or sunday, but if I end up fishing sunday I can take you out to Minnihaha on saturday. what kind of buisness?

Hey, I am looking for a climbing mentor to help me gain the experience needed to progress onto the big walls. I have done a sememster with NOLS, and I hold a WFR card. I am ok with wilderness climbs and longer approaches (though I am looking for single day climbs for now, or overnighters). I am a solid belayer, know how to build anchors and place gear (but my gear leading is limited to about 5.6 right now, looking to improve this), I also know basic rescue techniques (belay escapes) and some very basic aid (ascending fixed lines, self belays, clean placements). I have climbed at Devils Tower, Freemount Canyon, The Needles, and many local crags (eastern wa mostly). I understand that finding a climbing partner online has its drawbacks, and I would expect a few climbing sessions to get to know you before thinking about doing anything bigger, but I have a strong desire to learn how to safely, cleanly, and efficiently climb big rocks. Thanks for your time and hopefully I can find some climbing partners to help me develop my skills. I currently am climbing 5.10- face and 5.10+ cracks on toprope/cleaning, but am training and getting better.

Oh and I do have some formal training as well as a WFR card.

Hi, I am Dustin Bise. Was just refered to this forum, looks like a great place. Anyways, I am from Spokane and am (trying)to learn how to climb big walls. I have climbed devils tower, some of the spires @ the catherdrals, freemount canyon, and all over washington. I am mostly here to make contacts and learn. I also love to flyfish, photograph, paint, snowboard, teleski, and all sorts of other "outdoor" shit. Peace.
