Hello world, how are you? I work seasonally and so have the winter off and tend to spend everyday in pursuit of the joys of suffering. I just love it. But you know what makes suffering better? Friends to suffer with! And cookies. Is it even really suffering anymore? Or just life? Currently chasing powder and alpine ice, but if my fingers wouldn't freeze and necrose I would be clinging to something precarious. I am training for The Full West Rib of Denali in the spring and so would love to make mooooooore friends to do zesty routes here in WA, like Liberty Ridge and the Adams Glacier. But more important than the zesty sends is being outdoors as much as possible, so lets link up and tour the sisters, climb the fischers chimneys, triple couloirs, cosley-houston, go skiing at whistler, climb ice at Banks, and do a winter tour of the Enchantments. Seattle based, have AWD car. I have all the gear I need to lead anything, 9 screws, 3x trad rack, lots of ropes, pickets, lots of winter/summer tents, full avy gear, ski touring set up, ice tools, pons... I don't have much extra individual gear and am looking for competent partners to follow or swap leads on: Triple Couloirs, Cabinet Mountains Trip, Gibraltar Ledges, Liberty Ridge, Early Winter Couloir, Fisher Chimneys, Coleman Headwall, Northwest Ice Couloir on Eldorado, Ice Cliff Glacier, Index North Face, Cosley-Houston, Goats Beard. I also ski tour and prefer not to walk in or out of climbs/mountains. happy to ski the tight and steeps but prefer longer traverses. Don't be shy, happy to teach and lead if you bring sour patch kids: 206819165five Jaysen

I am set on ascending the full West Rib on Denali and then skiing the West Butt or the Messner Couloir this May. I currently have 3 climbing partners in Seattle that might want to join, but because they are not sure, I am seeking more partners. I can host you until I go to Yosemite in April if you aren't from the PNW. I am based out of Seattle, fully available, and keen as beans to do literally everything outdoors. I lead WI4+, 5.11 trad and sport, and have vowed to never walk off a skiable mountain again. I have very comfortably led the Kautz, North Ridge of Baker, and solo'd lots of the ice routes up hood. I also have a family cabin by Index that we can take full advantage of. If interested, I would want to run laps on all the zesty routes on Rainier and do several of the big North Cascade traverses to dial teamwork and logistics. I have led trips on many of the big ticket items in the PNW, but I am looking for partnerships where each person gives 60% and want to make sure were dialed before skiing the spice. My dream route is the Cassin ridge, so lets talk if that's in your ballpark. as a note, baseline costs for doing Denali unguided are looking like 2-3k MINIMUM, and I'm budgeting for a comfortable 5k. Feel free to text or call me 206819165five, Were putting in permits around the first week of march or so.

Hey Everyone, My partner and I are teeing up to do the Full West Rib or the Cassin ridge in May 2022 pending some logistics and are potentially looking for a third if they're Seattle based. If anyone is interested in one of the more technical routes up Denali, and is versed, call or text me at 206819165five Cheers Jaysen

Nice work! Im hoping to get after the Triple Couloirs tomorrow or this weekend, did you notice anything about snow/ice conditions on the north face of sherpa that were worth sharing? or, did you happen to get a look at dragontail and see anything in the runnels? cheers!
