bedellympian Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I just moved to Bend. Relative climbing novice (lots of outdoors experience and fitness) looking for partners. Craging at Smith and peak bagging in Cascades are my main objectives. I have no trad experience but want to learn. I have a handful of sport and gym exp. Know basic glacier travel and self-arrest technique. Comfortable with winter camping, back country skiing, scrambling, backpacking, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeletor Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Welcome to C.O.! You might want to connect with the Cascades Mountaineers (no relation to the mounties up north). There's a lot of people from the club that head up to Smith Rocks regularly, and a lot of people who do more alpine & glacier climbs. they usually have a meeting the second Wednesday of the month at Environmental Center on Kansas street in Bend, This week they're having a gear swap... www.cascadesmountaineers.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedellympian Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Thanks for the tip. I have been going to their meetings and did hit up the gear swap. They seem like nice guys but lacking motivation and technical know-how. During the winter all I heard about was a campout on Tumalo and a couple snow shoes that were 4-6 miles round trip. Their summer schedule looks better but I'm hoping to hook up with some stronger and more knowledgeable people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
