SpeedyXC Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 So, here's the deal. I've lived in Bellingham my entire life and I've always wanted to climb Baker. I've had plans to climb it for the past 3 summers, but every time the group I am going with decides not to at the last minute. It is driving me crazy. I'm 22 and I've been hiking all over Washington since I was 6. I have planned and led several off trail traverses, but have never done any roped glacier travel. The biggest peak I've climbed was Mt. Stuart (via the Cascadian Couloir) which was a fun climb, but it was rather easy and not at all technical. I'd like to start climbing some bigger peaks, but I don't have the money to pay for a Mountaineering course as I am a poor college student. I am in excellent shape. I run 80-100 miles a week in hills and lift weights/do core strength exercises regularly. I also own and have read the "Freedom of the Hills" book on Mountaineering. I just need someone who would be willing show me the basics. Other than a few dates, I can get time off of work almost anytime this summer, so I can try and work around your schedule. If you're looking for a fit climbing partner and don't mind teaching me the basics, I'd love to climb with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
