Isobel Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Hi, I am a Japan based New Zealander and due to unforseen work commitments my climbing partner can no longer make our NW mountaineering trip. I am looking for a partner/s for any/all of the days May 7-11. I wondered if there was anybody out there who was up for something? I'd prefer snow but rock or hiking fine. Maybe Mt St Helens or Adams? I don't ski. I am an experienced backpacker, snow walker, winter camper but haven't done much technical ice. I'm happy to skype with anyone who might be interested in showing me around. I don't drive on the right so would need transport. More than happy to pick up the expenses. I will be in Seattle or Leavenworth but can travel wherever public transport will take me. 49 and female and in training for Mustagh Ata in June so stamina ok.

Matt Lemke Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 What were you initially planning to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isobel Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) We are both foreigners (my partner UIAGM) with NO knowledge of the NW so had planned to have a chat to the REI guys about access, conditions etc but probably start on St Helens or Adams and hopefully get some recommendations from other climbers. We would have probably tried something more challenging weather permitting (we had 8 days) but now I would definitely prefer to keep it non-technical.

Isobel Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Hi Matt - I'm sorted now for partners thanks. Will be playing everything by ear depending on conditions etc nearer the time. Looking forward to playing in your part of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
