Hello,

I plan on coming out to the North Cascades the first or second week of November to do some hiking and climbing. I will be traveling with at least one other friend, if not two. My one friend has not climbed anything he has needed to be roped up for, but is quite fit, as am I. Me and my other friend (the one who may be coming) just got back from climbing Pisco in the Cordillera Blanca. We would like to hire a non-official guide to take us up on an easy alpine climb in the North Cascades. You can suggest the mountain and route. We would like to go big, but we are not interested in doing Rainier. You do not need to have any official mountain guiding experience. We simply just want someone to safely lead us up a route. We do not want someone to set up our tent for us and all of that jazz. I would like the experience to be as authentic as possible, hence why we are not trying to go through some guiding agency.

Please let me know if you would be interested in leading us on a climb or just sharing any thoughts you may have. Depending on your skill level I could talk about some potential compensation.

We are all young 25-30, fit, eager to learn, and excited to get out into the frozen wilderness.

Thanks for reading!

-Mike
