bedellympian Posted April 8 Posted April 8 Anyone got any trips or goals for the summer season? Let's share and get stoked! I'm going to spend a week 2nd half of June with a good partner. We're going to see what the weather does before we pick a location... Rogers Pass, Canadian Rockies, Tetons, Cascades are all on the radar. Then hoping to either go to the Sierra or Darrington for some (very different) granite climbing later in the summer. Hopefully a couple family trips with at least some scrambling, kid TRing, and hiking too. 1 1 Quote
olyclimber Posted April 10 Posted April 10 Other than something @JasonG and I are gonna do I’m just planning on repeating some classic scrambles/ridge hikes in the cascades and Olympics. Probably do some bike packing if I can get to it, and canoe the Bowron in October and hunting in AK in November. 1 1 Quote
mammothclimbs Posted Saturday at 01:44 PM Posted Saturday at 01:44 PM I didn't end up having the budget for my plans in Alaska this year, so I'll be spending more time in the PNW and Canada. I'll be in the PNW starting mid-May hoping to climb whatever subset of Curtis/Ptarmigan/Liberty ridge I could fit in/would be in acceptable condition, and then will spend early August in Squamish before heading to the Canadian rockies and hopefully climb the Kain face on Robson. 1 1 Quote

What are you doing between the volcano alpinism season and Squamish? Quote

I got a scholarship so I'm actually going to be headed to Norway for a few weeks to take a course in Norwegian. Past that, I'll be back home working and hoping to get in a lot of harder (for me) dry tooling in this summer. 1 Quote

There are summer programs at a few of the major universities in Norway, and then there are a few folkehøgskoler (sort of adult education programs, usually taken following "high school" level) which offer language programs if one has a longer period. A lot of the major universities have scholarships, and then past that there's scholarships through different Norwegian culture institutions in the US that have some scholarships. The subset of people in the US learning Norwegian is quite small, so a lot of these scholarships don't seem to be too difficult to get as long as one can demonstrate a fairly dedicated effort towards learning the language.

I will definitely be trying to take advantage of the beautiful nature as much as possible while there. Quote
