Description

have too much vacation saved up now and my wife's new job doesn't let her have any until the end of the year so I figured I'd get this off of my bucket list seeing as how I'm California resident..again.
Looking to spend about 3 weeks on route, timing open, but maybe this isn't the year if the whole permit thing is going to be a problem. I could easily do this myself if my wife didn't freak out about the whole idea of it. :D

Me: Male, just about to turn 51, have a background of climbing, mountaineering (NZ, Alaska), backpacking (solo and not), grew up in Alaska so I have no problems being 'out there'. Also had a fair bit of wilderness first aid training but your best plan is to not rely on that. :D Also like landscape photography and skiing. Conversational without being overly chatty. PhD in geophysics but currently a computer monkey.

If you live in California, also interested in general backpacking partners. Still thinking about getting back into rock climbing this year.

	Greetings, I live in Oregon, yet I hike in Sierras and Trinity Alps few times per year, thus I would be interested to join you in one or few routes. My interests are hiking, moderate climbing backcountry and extreme skiing. I do a lot of videography, thus I don’t like to hurry during my travels and like to enjoy beautiful nature around me. Please let me know if you are interested and later I can shoot you my email/phone number. Regards, Eugen
