Hello! I moved to Everett, WA earlier this year and am currently looking for some climbing and backcountry/ski mountaineer partners. I have been away from climbing for a couple years, so I would like to ease back into it. Really enjoy alpine routes, general mountaineering, backcountry and ski mountaineering, but also enjoy just going to the local crag for some good ice or rock, after all, it is a great way to train and easily done for a quick outing. I'm usually pretty comfortable leading sustained WI 3-4, and 5.8-5.9 gear, lead a couple M6's and wouldn't mind getting a bit more into mixed climbing.
Grew up in Idaho doing quite a bit of rock climbing, peak bagging, snow and a few ice routes. Moved to Colorado for a couple winters and got a lot more involved with ice climbing and backcountry skiing, and spent a winter and spring in Chamonix and Switzerland doing a lot of ski mountaineering and some alpine routes.
My work schedule is a little sporadic, but pretty flexible if planned in advance. Usually get weekends off with some random weekdays. I've got all the essentials for just about any climb.
Feel free send a PM or email.
Thanks, climb safe.
