Description
I'm in my mid 20's and now that I finally have some free time in my life, I wanted to get into winter climbing and mountaineering. I have hundreds of warmer season backcountry trips under my belt, so I'm pretty experienced in general. I just have no idea how to ice climb or backpack in the winter with snowshoes and protection. As far as rock climbing goes, I've bouldered in a gym quite a bit, but never on actual traditional routes requiring setting protection.
I plan to take some guided courses this winter, but in the mean time if anybody is planning to take some friends/family on a learning trip, I would much appreciate it (and offer pastries/booze) if I could tag along to learn a little bit. I am very mountain savvy and wont slow you down. Or if anyone wants to get together and go on a big noob group adventure, thats fine with me too!
Let me know! Now that the white stuff has started to fall, I'll be out skiing quite a bit on the east side, so I can easily detour to another location between LA and mammoth.
