Looking for an ice climbing mentor

I just moved to Fort Collins, CO earlier this year and am interested in trying my hand at ice climbing this winter. Since I don't have any previous ice climbing experience, I'd love to have a mentor or partner that would be willing to teach and show me the basics and safety- so that I can become comfortable with the sport. I will have all weekends off so I have a good amount of time to devote to climbing and who knows, I may become decent by the end of the season?! I'm willing to travel/ explore new areas and I also have a free pass to all national parks! So what do ya say? Help this girl get on the ice!

Would love to show ya the ice not looking to up my grade any just to get out and have fun.If you would like to do some rock climbing before the ice formes this is the best time of the year for that

Oh perfect! If you'd like to climb some to see if we would be a good fit before the ice forms or meet up, I'd be down for that as well.

Hey Ellina,

I've only gone ice climbing a handful of times but have most of the gear and am planning on getting out this winter. Looking for someone to start at square one and learn together so if you're interested let me know!
