I’d love to spend a few days on multi-pitch trad climbs anywhere from CO to MT summer 2018. “Mild” difficultly desired; I lead 5.7 confidently at Devils Lake, and I’m training to achieve 5.8. Enjoy the art and science of placing pro. I’m considering hiring a Guide in order to get local knowledge in some desirable area, but if *you* have such familiarity, let’s talk. Not looking for weather/wilderness/route finding epics, but happy to get off the beaten path with high exposure.
History: learned climbing in the 70s with the UW-Madison Hoofers at DL and Eldorado Springs CO, and mountaineering in the Cascades w Ray Smutek (sp?), then-time editor of Off Belay magazine. Somewhat active in indoor scene the past few years in Iowa.
I’m getting older, but not a “has-been” quite yet!
Wow, Off Belay Mag... I still have a pile of those. I do try to get into the Bighorns every year (37 years and about 46 FAs). I may be booked up this summer with other trips but I never know when I can sneak something in. If your looking for a rock or ice climbing partner from DL north, just send me an e-mail. Arthritis has slowed me down so 5.6-8s are perfect but still doing hard ice due to easy tools nowadays. I'm on the left at Bomber Peak SE cirque. I ran my DE from Devil's Lake for 28 years and was the only AMGA accredited guide service in the Midwest. No longer guiding but love to share my knowledge for a better climbing experience and to stay in practice. Cheers, PK
