summithound Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 I'm an avid scrambler and hiker looking for an experienced partner to lead up Mount Olympus this year. I'd make a strong companion but my knowledge of rock climbing and rope work is limited. I've made the summit of Mount Baker, Colchuck Peak and Kendall Peak in just the last month so endurance is not a problem. I offer a free ride from Seattle and a celebratory dinner and beers on the way home to those who may be interested in teaching a newbie the basics of rock protection, belaying and rappelling on this introductory climb. I've got a 9.5mm x 60m dry rope, harness, belay/rappel device, prusiks, locking caribiners and other odds and ends (ice axe, crampons, helmet, etc.). If this strikes your fancy, please let me know. Or, if there's any other useful information I could include in this post, please don't hesitate to inform me. Thanks all! Quote
charger Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 I'd also like to summit Olympus. I'm not sure I'd be the right 'guide' type of climber you are looking for, but would be fine as a third person on the rope. I'm not sure how much rock protection, belay, rappel experience you will get on Olympus, but it's probably a good place to work on rope management, ice axe, crampon and crevasse rescue skills. Quote
