Big Packrafing/Climbing trip 2024

Hi I'm planning a big trip focusing on climbing and packrafting throughout the Western part of the USA from March to September 2024. I will be traveling around in a campervan (or similar) and hoping to get out climbing and on rivers as much as possible. I'm keen to meet up and climb/paddle with locals, but it would also be good to travel with some other climbers so that we can climb and paddle on the fly when the conditions are good. I won't be working so my availability will be wide open. If this is of interest to you please get in touch so we can discuss options. =)

Hi Shar

I’m planning a climbing/skiing/packrafting trip for June/July 2024 in the Eastern Brooks Range; floating the Canning River to the Arctic Ocean and then catching a boat back to Barrow. Timing depends on when the sea ice goes out. This is my backyard but it would be a bit of a drive for you to the top of Alaska. You said Western US, just not how far north lol.

Wow that sounds epic! I'm not sure I would have time for it in June as I have a family thing, but it sounds like something I'd love to do one day!

I am a climber and boater based out of Colorado, planning a  Green River trip in the Spring. Drop me a DM to discuss.  

Some nice water/rock combo adventures to be had in the western Sierra during late spring- early summer runoff; I am game for adventures in the northern part of the state and have some flexible objectives in mind for anyone passing through in the next couple months with gear and psych. Also, tent and camper space open a few minutes off the 5 freeway in a peaceful scenic spot!
