l2summitplx Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Hey guys and gals. Long time reader, first time poster. Actually it feels like all I do is read these days...and work. Which brings me to the point of this post: I’m looking to change that. Now. Finding regular partners is the next step. A little about me: I’m 27, graduated from Western with my B.A. in Journalism. And if I’m being honest, I feel I’m lacking a bit in climbing experience. TONS of backpacking experience, but not counting scrambling, Baker is my only real summit. Twice in college via the Coleman Glacier. I truly fell in love with the mountains then, but lack of transportation, paired with homework and bills stifled my climbing goals. Thankfully, I’m now in a position where I can really get at it. I’ve contemplated AAI’s Mountaineering and Leadership series, but $10k would pay for A LOT of gas and beer pursuing climbing independently. I’m a pretty laid back guy, get along with most everyone. I’m serious when I have to be, sarcastic and goofy most other times. I’ve traveled all over the world, but am trying to really familiarize myself with what’s in my backyard for a change. I live in Seattle, work Thursday - Sunday mornings. I’m usually done by 4 and can be ready to climb by 5 Sunday. That’s 3 1/2 days a week. Plus I just bought an awesome 1991 Chevy camper van that is just begging for some trips into the mountains. All I need are partners. Mentors really. Anyone out there looking to climb every week? Gas is on me. We can split the beer. - Brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l2summitplx Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Forgot to mention my interest in digital media/photography/documentary. I'd like to do some storytelling along with climbing this year. Trip reports for sure. Edited April 19, 2014 by l2summitplx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate G Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Brett, I am about as experienced as you, we have a similar climbing record. Although I couldn't be a mentor I will be available almost everyday in the summer because I am a junior in high school. If your willing to climb with a younger guy I'm always trying to find dependable partners (not much luck on the dependable part). I am hoping to take a class with AAI this summer to improve my skills but until then I would be happy to climb some of the less technical peaks in the cascades. I live in mukilteo, and have group gear for glacier travel and winter 4 season camping. Hit me up, ntgoodwin@gmail.com Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
