Newb saying Hi
Posted: Thu Aug 26, 2010 8:18 pm
Just joined and wanted to say hi. Living in south Florida I do not run into many climbers and thought this site would be great for info and banter.
I just got back from the Tetons for a couple of weeks of hiking and climbing with my daughter. She and my son have been in the wild since they could walk. I was often the family "sherpa" on these trips and it would help get me ready for the after trip when my climbing friends would show up. This was her first multi pitch technical climbs. We did Pownell/Gilkey route on the Grand, East face of Tiwonott, the Shied in Hoback canyon. My son could not go due to school but has done some alpine climbing with me in Colorado and the North Cascades.
I have only climbed and hiked in North America. Tetons, Windrivers, northern North Cascades, Bugaboos, Canidan Rockies, Glacier, Yosemite, Colorado, N Carlonia, Tennessee and Alaska.
