HiT

Thanks RaisedByPicas... That is very helpful info... I have never done Si but I was doing little Si Tues and Thurs after work so maybe I should head on up to the crowds! I will keep an eye out for that book. I have also been looking on NWHikers as well. I signed up there when I started hiking in May. I have all my backpacking gear now the same way, used or gifted... headed to Stuart next weekend and Three Fingers after that. I want to be able to do all the fingers one day!

Thanks for the information... I think I will still lay low of course until I can get some personal gear and train some more... Need to get out there and hike more. i hike every weekend but need to do harder trails.

I was thinking mountaineering courses to get started. I agree, I need to get out there and do it but of course, I need to get the basics down first.

Just saying hello and have a few questions to ask. Of course I am a newbie but I am as new as they come. I have never climbed before but I am very interested in learning. I have no clue where to start. I haven't been hiking very long either but the more scrambles I do, the more I want to climb. Any input is highly appreciated.
