Hey All, I'm looking for a partner to climb some alpine trad over Labor Day weekend. I'm pretty flexible in both dates and objectives. I'm kind of leaning toward something in WA pass. I could also be easily talked into a longer more committing objective. I'm 29, but have more than a decade of mountaineering experience and pretty good physical condition for alpinism. I'm newer to alpine trad though having only started this year. I've lead some 5.7 alpine trad pitches and climb 5.10 sport. I'm definitely interested in learning from a partner with more experience. I've also got a full rack and rope. Give me a holler if you're interested in trying to put together a climb. Cheers

Is anyone interested in climbing Mount Olympus over a weekend before mid Sept? I can without too much difficulty go to the WIC the day before to get a permit for glacier meadows. Would prefer to do the climb with only 2 nights, maybe over labor day weekend if the weather is good though it could be a zoo up there then. Anyway, I'm a moderately experienced mountaineer and in reasonably good shape right now (28M). In the past few weeks I've climbed Jefferson (led across the no-fall snowfield), Stuart, and Glacier. I'm very comfortable on steep snow slopes and have crevasse rescue experience (have actually had to pull someone out). I've done all of the major Cascade volcanoes and other things like Shuksan and El Dorado. I don't have alpine trad experience nor a rack though. I'll be in Bellingham through Sept 22, so if anyone has other trip ideas I could potentially be interested as well. Cheers

OKPDX, I'd be interested in climbing Jefferson this Sat. I'm not from Portland, but I would be coming from Bend. PM if you're still looking for people.
