I just moved to Portland from Boulder, CO, and I'm a student at Lewis and Clark College. I'm looking to get into any sort of mountaineering and outdoor fun possible. The metro area is big and difficult to get out of, but I'm available any weekend for climbing mountains and rocks, or even just walking around.

I'm have some mountaineering experience. In 2008 I completed a NOLS mountaineering course in the Waddington Range in British Colombia. I've done snow climbing around Boulder and climbed 63 of the peaks in that county. This past summer I spent five weeks through hiking the Colorado Trail. I have a WFR cert, have taught skiing for four years, and am looking for anyone who wants to go outside.

I'm also representing my friend Zoe Glas, who has the same interests. She's worked in search and rescue for four years and has done multiple rescues, has completed two three-week outward bound courses, and generally knows what she's doing. We'd both like to learn more about ice climbing and leading on rock, as well as get more experience on the volcanos.

Best,
Benjamin Hoffman
