New to WA

by cmcguigan » Wed Oct 29, 2014 4:17 am

Looking for hiking/climbing partners. Im in Everett, WA. I have plently of experience with 5th class climbing trad, sport. Missing the steep snow and ice bit. Interested in peak bagging and getting up some of the 3rd and 4th class stuff safely. So far Ive hit a couple easies mount rainier-miur camp, mnt washington/elenor olympics, st helens. If your dependable and dont mind an alpine newbie, Im free on the weekends.

Although I am working in Utah now, I am from WA and come back as much as I can. I am always looking for people to climb with in the Cascades. Keep me in mind and I will contact you as well next time I am back in WA.

I love 5th class alpine climbs as well as scrambles.

I live near by, so let me know if you need a partner for trips. Right now I'm still pretty messed up from my latest climbing accident two months ago, but should be cruising by the time Spring comes around. 8)

I prefer Nwhikers and Cascade Climbers for finding partners. The mountaineers is a decent organization, but if you want more freedom it's more fun to get people who can teach you and pick up the skills on the way. 8)

Another WA newbie here if you're still looking for partners. I'm in Southern WA so easy trek to St Helens / Hood / Adams, etc. Spent some time on Rainier this fall but also fairly new to the frozen world.
