I am looking for climbing partners for a few goals this year. I will be available starting July 1 thru mid October.
1. Ptarmigan Ridge July
2. Bugaboos for 2 weeks in August
3. Squamish, Index, Leavenworth, Liberty Bell
4. Anything else within a 500ish mile drive of Seattle, Wa.
I have a good rack of gear:
20+ cams
30+ passive/stoppers
10 ice screws
20 pins (canadian rockies)
ropes, expedition tents, stoves etc.
Avalanche Level 1 cert.
WFR current
I have a dozen summits on Rainer and a successful expedition on Denali via the W. Butt. Also been to the Ruth Gorge but no summits worth bragging about. I have climbed rock from NY to AZ to BC. I have climbed water ice in NH, VT, WA, BC and AB. I have only been on Big Wall style ascents at Squamish though. In my hey day I led 5.10+ trad,5.11 bolted, A4 and Water Ice grade 4/5. I am not at that level right this minute but plan on being there ASAP. In the meantime I have ascenders with aiders and I know how to use them to follow you up whatever you want to lead.
PM me or post a reply on this thread if you are interested in discussing goals and personality compatibility.
