Description

I'm looking for someone to bag a few peaks with in the alps, possibly based out of Chamonix or Zermatt. I consider myself a mountaineering beginner; my experience consists of:

- Technical mountaineering course in New Zealand (crevasse rescue, snow/ice protection, etc.)
- 3 years rockclimbing experience (lead grade 21 AUS, 5.10d USA, 6b French)
- have climbed most of Pt Batian, Mt Kenya (5199m)

I have up to two weeks to spend in the alps and would probably want to climb something relatively easy to start with, e.g. perhaps something like Mönch or Jungfrau and maybe Mt Blanc, but am flexible.

Oh, and I only speak english.

	I'm gonna spend 10 days from the 17th of August till the 27th doing long rock routes starting from Verdon and continuing onward to Chamonix and then my partner is going back home. I've got another week left, in which I'm looking for a partner for mountaineering as you described. You can read on past experience in a message I posted right above yours on the same issue. eniv4 Eyal

	I'm climbing Monch & Jungfrau Aug 25-26. My partner is leaving after that to go to Austria. I have through Sept 2 - I need to be back to Zurich that evening. Interested in doing Eiger (Mittellegi or southwest route) or traveling down to Mont Blanc. Do you still need a climbing partner? I'm out of town right now without my laptop so I would have to send my climb resume this Saturday, if you're still interested.
