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
