Description
Just got back from a semester in New Zealand, where I got my first taste of mountaineering climbing a 900 meter peak with one pair of crampons and fifteen feet of rope to share between my partner and I. Now that I'm back I'm looking to do a lot more mountaineering and learn how to do it properly, so if you're going on any trips in the Orange County/ LA area in the near future I'd love to tag along.

As another novice snow climber, I'm organizing a practice on March 2nd from Manker Flat (a Mount Baldy area trailhead). I have it listed on OutdoorsClub.org, but you don't have to sign up there if you don't want, just drop me an email.

| Hey, I have been looking for people to hike/backpack with too. I am also interested in getting into climbing. Up to this point however, I have only been indoor climbing with someone belaying me. Let me know if you have any excursions planned and need a partner! Hopefully we can find some more newbs!

| If you are still looking for partners, I'm an avid backpacker, indoor climber and just started getting into the mountaineering scene as well. This past winter I really started to get into it with crampons, snowshoes and all of that good stuff. I plan to head to Rainier next spring so I'll definitely be in the mountains between now and then! | | Posted Jul 6, 2008 11:31 pm |
| hovie | Hi | | 
| I am also around the same area and age as everyone else who posted. Keep me posted if you guys get together or email me if anyone needs a partner any weekend. I'm up for anything as long as its challenging. | | Posted Nov 30, 2009 2:39 am |
