Khattak Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Hi, I am new to Cascadesclimbers and actually I have never used a forum before so I don't know how it works, so yeah I am Shehryar Khattak a student of product design from Pakistan and I am a rock climber among the very few. We are open to host any big wall climbers who wants to come climb and exchange the knowledge with us. I have recently started going in to Karakoram to learn big wall art by myself as rock climbing is very new here and we don't have any big wall climber who can take me under the wing, I will be please to make friends here. If you guys want to ask something about climbing or just want to chat please feel free to email me at "sktalkie@gmail.com" or comment below. Thanks. Quote
Alisse Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Hello! I have little aid experience, but I was just wondering how you found CascadeClimbers. Google? Quote
Khattak Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 @Alisse Hello there I was googling haulbags images because just even the gear images facinates me through a photo of A5 haul bag I discovered Cascadesclimbers. 😊 1 Quote
OlympicMtnBoy Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Welcome Khattak! Yes, you are a long ways from the Cascade Mountains but you are certainly welcome to post up here. We have a few big wall climbers on the site and some pretty nice wall climbs in the area (Index, Squamish, Smith Rock, Washington Pass, etc). You should post up some pictures of the walls in the Karakorum you are looking to climb! Maybe that will entice someone to visit. If you are interested in big walling and A5 gear you should also check out the forum on supertopo.com. There are a lot of Yosemite climbers who post there including John Middendorf who designed the A5 Haulbag and is still making innovative gear (he recently had a kickstarter for a new D4 portaledge). He also has the site bigwalls.net which is a wealth of info on his gear designs. Cheers, OlympicMtnBoy 2 Quote

Khattak Posted February 3, 2018 Author Posted February 3, 2018 @JasonG It's a wild place and is in open zone uncountable virgin peaks and the good thing you don't need a climbing permit. Quote
