Just looking for a partner or two for some mountaineering in Peru this summer (winter down there...). I have experience on ice and in the mountains but really looking to hone my skills during a 2-3 week stint in the Andes. I've been looking into taking a 6-10 day technical course with a couple summit attempts following the course.

Would be cool to find a partner to join me or possibly joining an expeditions of some of the peaks if people are tolerant of my skills and willing to teach.

A couple programs I've been looking into:

Skyline Adventure School 12 mountaineering course with Yanapaqcha and Chopicalqui
or Peruvian Andes Adventures climbing course with Vallunaraju, Yanapaqcha and Chopicalqui.

I'm definitely interested in some more technical alpine ice route like Shaqsha or Artisonraju maybe Alpamayo in a few years...
