Hi,
I am relatively new to Portland and looking for a regular climbing partner. My interests are: mountaineering, rock climbing, multi-pitch alpine routes.
I am married, and have a 6 year old son, that makes it a little harder to do frequent trips, especially on a short notice. I do get out regularly, though.
I am 37 and grew up in the mountains. Climbed a few 14ers via harder ridge routes in Colorado. Some in bad weather. Did Hogs back, Leuthold couloir and Reid Headwall last season on Mount Hood. Looking to do more on Hood this year, including Steel Cliffs and a few North Side routes or Rainier via some less traveled routes.
Have all gear I might need including avalanche rescue kit. Can lead Sport 5.9, Trad 5.8, boulder V3-4.
Can meet for beer/coffee of go to Planet Granite to get acquainted.
Send a PM if interested.
Thanks.
