looking for partners through 11/11 (Seattle) (mountaineering/rock climbing)

Hey! I'm a travel nurse that just got a job near seattle. have 4 days off a week. Looking to get outside and do some rock climbing/mountaineering. I comfortably lead sport 5.8-9 and can usually get up 5.10s with a  fall or two. Learning trad. Happy to follow up any trad multi pitch, or belay people on sport projects. have some glacier travel/crevasse rescue experience, summited rainer July 2016 via the emmons-winthrop. don't mind stupidly early mornings or general suffering in the mountains.

I like to give/receive attentive belays. Always put safety first. 

Have a full sport rack, small trad rack, rope, and mountaineering gear. 

I live in seattle, but don't mind driving. 

Looking forward to make some outdoorsy friends in the area!

Hey are you interested in climbing Mt. Olympus or Glacier Peak sometime soon? Very open schedule, prefer to climb during the week rather than chasing crowds on weekends. crevasse rescue - check, essential gear - check. I climb trad and have a full rack too but my tendons are blown so just climbing alpine for the time being. 

yeah, absolutely! also prefer weekdays. Theres one other dude that contacted me about some mountaineering. The three of us should get together for coffee or beer and talk about dates and possibilities.

how soon were you thinking? I get my work schedules 4 weeks in advance. 

Unsure if you are free tomorrow. I was thinking about heading out early and hitting some stuff in the Cascades; maybe the exits or something up in Mazama if I felt ambitious. Let me know if you are free and I can shoot you my number! 

Yeah! I'm free tomorrow. Let me know!

I'm a kiwi climber visiting the area for the next week and half, let me know if you're keen for any mountaineering next week!

Cheers,

Tom

I know its relatively early...BUT I am looking to climb in the Seattle/Central-west Cascade area September 17-20 (dates flexible) easy trad (up to 8's),sport up to 10's. I am also an attentive belayer who never takes their hand off the rope! 

Jon,

i am a nurse in the area. Wouldn't mind meeting up with you and getting out to do some climbs. Shoot me a pm

Hey if anybody is available to climb some trad at Leavenworth this week let me know! I can lead 9/10 and have a good amount of multi-pitch experience. Contact me at (301) 503-4140 

I'm visiting from VT, with Monday 9/11 and Tues 9/12 free, and was hoping to find a partner for a few easy-moderate routes in the Liberty Bell area. I'm an older guy (59) with many years of experience, but most of my trad leads these days are in the 5.7-5.9 range. Just happy to be out on the rock. Call or text me at 802-730-7184.

Anyone interested in Rainier in two weeks (Sep 11-15)? Partner had to cancel last minute. Full disclosure I don't have crevasse experience but I did Shasta last year, climb 12s on rock, have trad experience, have essential gear and should be fine fitness wise. (952) 270 9499

I hope you got crevasse training. Rainier is pretty open and it's risky with 2 people, especially with a higher risk of you falling in

Looking for a partner for this weekend (9/23-24). Alpine rock, mountaineering, up for anything really.

I lead up to 5.10 trad, but psyched to get on anything.
