Jay…
I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. Looking to get out and practice and work up in the trad world. I am new to climbing about 2 years. My main area of interest is backcountry skiing and alpine climbing. I've discovered that multipitch trad climbing is another one of my soul passions and I just need to find good partners who share my enthusiasm, ethics etc. I live in Poulsbo and get out frequently to the North Cascades and Olympics.
I don't think I'm much of a mentor, but perhaps we can mentor one another and grow together
