Yeah its early to be looking, but Ill be in Europe from mid June through mid July and am looking to do some climbing. I am open to basically anywhere but have my hopes set on Mallorca DWS, the Swiss alps and Norway. I am hoping to do moderate grade long multi pitch sport and trad routes and I am hoping to climb virtually every day while I am out there. Some of the routes I am eyeing are:

1) The Eiger Mittellegi ridge mountainproject.com/v/mitte…

2) Grimselstrom mountainproject.com/v/grims…

3) Meteorit mountainproject.com/v/meteo…

4) Herbstwind mountainproject.com/v/herbs…

And other similar long moderate sport/trad routes. Basically click on my profile, go to my "to do" list and sort to only show the ones in Europe and those are the routes I am looking to climb. I am also hoping to get on some classic via ferratas while Im out there. Hit me up if you will be in the area and are looking for a climbing partner. Im safe, and have loads of experience but I am not the worlds strongest climber so I like to keep it in the 5.10ish range when I lead. If you are more ambitious I will be happy to follow in the 5.11 range as well. Ill be bringing a rack, and plenty of beer money so hit me up and lets climb!

I'll be traveling in the area with my fam at that time. Planning on being in the dolomites in July. I'd like to get on the Cassin north ridge or face and lots of other routes in Italy. I'll be available sometime around there, lets pass info and keep in touch as it gets closer. I'll have gear with us, we'll be traveling in our camper van

Sounds good to me. I am down for some 5.11 like the cassin as long as you lead the crux pitches. Lets be in touch!

Looks like my family plan is firming up, we are squeezing in a monthlong trip through europe between jobs,. Our plan now is dolomites first two weeks of July, then cinque terre, on to calanques/verdon followed by costa del sol in spain. We could meet up in Switz for the Cassin in late June (my job should end Jun 15, but still in negotiations!) or any other region as you see fit

lots of climbing everywhere on the trip, email me at lydonm at yahoo.com

btw look up the swiss route "motorhead" on MP, it up north near Bearn I think, theres another route next to it thats also a classic if you like long granite slabs
