I am looking for a partner for the Bugaboos for a 2 week trip in late July. Since I have never been there I would obviously like to get on the Becky-Chouinard. Other objectives include Sunshine Crack and Solitary Confinement. I would also be interested in exploring some of the more remote peaks.
I would like to drive from Reno, Nv so if you can meet me here or if I can pick you up on the way that would be best. The drive from here is 20 hrs so we could do it in shifts pretty easily.
Pm me if you would like to discuss things like compatibility and logistics.
Bump to add some info and maybe drum up some interest. I was trying to avoid putting a resume type post but I understand that in this particular case people might like some more information before climbing in the alpine gnar with a stranger.
I have been climbing for a dozen years now and big wall/alpine rock climbing for 6 of those. I have climbed almost all the major formations in Yosemite including an "In a day" ascent of The Nose and several of the notable long 5.11 climbs. You know the ones. A few years ago I spent some time in Patagonia and with some lucky weather windows found success on 3 out of our 4 attempted routes, This included Mermoz, De l's and St. Exupery with and were run off Rafael due to typical Patagonia weather.
All of my regular partners are unable to make this trip due to time conflicts, retirement from the alpine or injuries. If you would like, I'm sure I could put together a list of references who could vouch for my positive attitude and climbing abilities.
I am also flexible on the logistics on getting up there but I definitely need the trip to be between July 13th and 31st.
