Hi everyone,
My name is David from the United States and I am looking for a climbing partner for my planned trip to the Alps this September of 2016. I plan to be there from Aug 31 to Sept 19. My goals are to do some alpine climbing/training with a company for 3 days (of which I would love to have someone come aboard to split the costs) as well as finish up with a 5 day course with the same company to summit the Matterhorn.
I have been talking to a local company and the prices seem fair (still not budget friendly) but more fair with 2 people. On the days w/o a guide, I would hopefully be able to relax with some easy going hikes as well as do some low-mid altitude climbing.
I am 30 years old and have mild to moderate experience with mountaineering. I have most of my own gear and wouldnt mind ice climbing if there are any available spots to do so during July. Ive have done high altitude hikes such as Everest Base Camp and Kilimanjaro, as well as some volcanoes in Mexico and Ecuador that required crampons and a little French Technique as well as plans to summit Mt Elbrus in Russia this May. I am looking for someone mature with an open mind and just wants to enjoy the great outdoors while keeping an open mind to whatever comes.
Here is to some great inquiries!
David
