ARBrandon Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Hello everyone, I am new to mountaineering and the PNW. I am experienced in backpacking/camping, skiing, scrambling, and novice rock climber. I am looking for recommendations for guided classes and climbs to get some experience under my belt. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_warfield Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 This topic comes up a lot on this site. If you do an effective search of posts you will get a firehose of information from experienced climbers and a few dumb shits but try it anyway.

CaleHoopes Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Since you're from Portland, you can try the Mazamas. Also, for mountaineering you can probably get some instruction from Timberline Mountain Guides. Additionally, tons of guide services here in WA are available for training. That's my best suggestion.

ARBrandon Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Thanks, everyone. I am looking into doing some courses plus a climb on Mt. Hood with Timberline. I will look into some WA companies, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montypiton Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 don't forget college outdoor programs -- many offer high-quality instruction, and often don't require that you be an enrolled student. they can be a great source of partners, as well...
