I am a new resident of WA, looking to climb and explore the area as much as possible. I am not a stranger to the area, I lived here for a short time a few years ago and have been back multiple times to visit and climb Mt. Rainier. I am used to climbing mostly ice in the North East, and would like to find a partner who is preferably better than me and interested in climbing technical/non-technical/or any bushwacking route in the North Cascades, Olympic Range, Mt. Rainier, Mt. Hood, Leavenworth, or anywhere else in the Pacific Northwest. I will climb whatever any of the four seasons have to offer, and am particularly interested in venturing out during the winter months when feasible.
