Looking for some partners to climb various ice and alpine routes throughout Washington and Oregon this winter. I do a lot of backcountry skiing/splitboarding and would be interested in intertwining the various activities. Pretty new to ice/mixed climbing, but levelheaded and safe, and I do have a double rack (almost) and eight screws. Definitely down to get after it. Text anytime. Marshall 208-921-5774

Hey Marshall (and others), I'm also looking to climb ice and alpine routes this winter. My primary snow/ice experience is on Hood: southside, Wy'east, Reid Headwall, and I also have some experience on Adams, St. Helens, Baker. I have a single rack, two pickets, about 5 screws, two ice tools, and a regular axe. I have a board (not split), but I'm hoping to buy an alpine touring setup and learn to ski better. Some mountains/routes I'd love to jump on: Yocum Ridge (Hood) North gullies (Hood) Jefferson Washington Broken Top Stuart

Hey! I'll get in on this, also looking for some winter alpine partners. I have a couple years experience climbing ice and larger routes. Ive got tools, screws, rope, car and am happy to travel. My big goals for the year are: My. Staurt triple couloirs, North Face Big Four peak, and North Face Mt. Graybeard, but pretty stoked to climb anything! Hit me up (720) 250-8117

I could also use some more winter climbing partners. Maybe it'd be useful to have a mellow group ski tour or something to meet up? Maybe after the snow pack fills in and it gets a bit properly cold later in December? seven oh seven six oh one seven three five seven

I'll add myself in here too. I'm probably the least experienced of the folks here. I did take a bunch of Alpine survival courses in the Army though. I did Hood twice last year, St. Helens a dozen times or so and the South Sister. I've got my own axe and crampons, but I don't have any ice tools, rope, pickets or screws (yet). I do have a reliable vehicle that can carry up to 4 other people and would be happy to pay for fuel in order to use someone else's gear. Luke 503-819-6680

I have extra gear, and I am happy to always exchange knowledge for a belay and some gas money. As long as we have a reliable lead on some ice, let's do this!!!

Personally, I'm looking to do some climbs on Hood. Leuthold Coulior in particular. Since it's been so warm lately, I'm not sure how the snow is yet. I'm hoping to get up to Timberline maybe this weekend to do a little looking around. Weekends are best for me, but I could probably take a day or 2 during the week if the weather is good and we've got some good plans. Looking forward to it.

I'll hop on this train too. Down for a mixture of skiing and climbing, have a decent amount of experience on steep snow and various alpine terrain. Interested in getting on more technical terrain this season. Have all the standard ski mountaineering gear, looking to get some tools soon. Weekends are good, and I can swing week days if conditions are looking good. I'd be down for chill group tour to get to know everyone. (262)- nine nine three - 5383

Looks like we got a good group going, all we need now is a cold spell! Let's all keep in touch if we see/hear/feel anything that spells I-C-E. Cheers!

If I can get away, I'm planning to go snowshoeing up to Illumination Rock on Hood tomorrow afternoon. I got some new cold weather gear and gloves that I'm going to test out.

I'm also hoping to break into ice, alpine, and ski-touring this winter! About 40 pitches of trad leads under my belt, but no experience ice climbing. I have all my own personal gear for skiing and climbing, a rope, a vehicle, Friday-Sunday available most weekends, and high stoke to get out and up. Based in Seattle but happy to travel. seven seven four 275 fortyforty
