Fixing my van in Oregon and getting ready to launch for my usual fall-through-summer trip.

Could hit Smith on the way out, then either north or east.

Looking for extended periods of climbing in pretty much any area. I'm thinking possibly Index/Leavenworth or maybe Idaho/Utah initially. Could head south, too, if I find a keener.

Lots of gear and experience, so hit me up!

How many threads are you going to start for the same trip?

We left Smith June 1, then hit Mt. Erie; Exit 38; Feathers near George, WA; Q' Emlin Park near Coeur D'Alen, MT; The Heap, near Lolo Hot Springs, MT;

We are in Cody now clmbing on the Island and exploring the unpublished routes on the canyon road.

Monday we leave for Enchanted Rock in TX, but don't have to be there until October 1st, (we will be the campground host there for Oct) so plan on climbing at MT. Rushmore, Custer State Park, something in Boulder, CO 9/12-16; Golden, Co 9/17-20; and Colorado Springs, Co. 9/20-26 along the way. Then rush the rest of the way to Enchanted.

We aren't very strong climbers but we have our fun. 5.5-5.7 We would love to trade belay's for leads on harder routes.

We're probably not what you are looking for but if you hit any of those places and get desperate for a belay look us up.

Wow, you're all over the place!

Thanks for the reply, but I usually FSOS that grade.

Maybe I'll see you on my travels

I am ready to start a similar trip but have no partner. I am in Boise. Was thinking Sawtooths, City of Rocks, then down to Utah. Wanting to leave ASAP as window of good weather in the sawtooths is closing in and they are bad ass. Get in touch John 208 869 8879

Yea, been to the sawtooths three times before. They are bad-ass, but isn't it a bit late? Only been in early August.

City should be good for a while, however.

If you're keen to do Monster Tower in Moab, let me know!
