Seeking hiking/climbing

[jjcarlsen]

Hello

I am a 31/male and live in Portland and I am looking for regular hiking/climbing/mountaineering partners. I have been hiking for several years and my regular friends are not quite into the level of hikes I am doing. My ultimate goal is to do Mt Hood and other peaks. I am free most weekends for hikes. I am not really into rock climbing at this point, mostly hiking/mountaineering.

 

 

I recently joined the Mazamas and I’m hoping to do Mt Adams and South Sister this year with them. I could not get into the BCEP class this year, so Mt Hood might be out of the question this year….not sure about the technical aspects.

I have done a lot of the standard hikes in the gorge but would like to do this year:

*Mt Defiance

*hike up above Crater Rock on Mt Hood (or as high as you can go before it gets technical)

*other related climbs of this difficulty

 

Hikes I have done:

*Dog Mt, Table Mt, Angels Rest/Devils Rest, Mirror Lake/Tom, Dick, and Harry, Hamilton Mt, etc

 

I run several times a week and consider myself in decent shape for most hikes.

Again, looking for hiking partners who want to do similar style/grade of hikes for training purposes as well as FUN.

 

Thanks.
