KatiCascades Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) I am looking for climbing/backcountry skiing partners to show me the ropes!!! I have a little experience, but I have a lot of respect for the mountains and for the people who have more experience than I. I have done a few climbs, which I have absolutely loved and am dying to get more into this. It is a hard sport to break into due to the reliance on needing to learn from others. Please let me know if anyone is willing to be a mentor and climbing buddy!! I will soak it up! My experience: Mt. Adams & Helens summer summits I've hiked up to the Hogsback on Hood in the winter several times on my splitboard (from the parking lot - not from Palmer!). And I have basic avy training. I have most of the basic gear I would need: boots, crampons, ax, beacon, shovel, probe. Cheers!
