Hi....new to the Portland area. Got into Alpine climbing in the last few years (Rainier, Shasta, Whitney all various routes), but still quite a novice....am interested in building some knowledge on rock to expand my options in the mountains.

 

thought I'd try and hit a climbing gym to start, over the winter....any other beginners looking for a partner let me know!

Mike,

I am writing a climbers guide for Hood and would be interested to hear about your first climbing experiences there. I have about two dozen other contributing authors, all are very experienced and a few are famous. Let me know what you think. Be happy to meet up for a beer and talk, I'm in SW PDX.

Have not been out on Hood yet, but certainly will be heading out there, when possible over the winter and in the spring. If that's of interest to you, then sure, would be happy to hear more about what you're after.
