I'm visiting from the east coast and looking for a partner on easy / moderate longer trad routes. I will be in Seattle from 6/1 for a week. I can definitely climb Saturday 6/2 and Sunday 6/3, maybe on Friday 6/1.

I'm generally interested in < =  5.6 or 5.7, and 4-6 pitches, and am open to suggestions from someone who knows better than myself. Mountain project has me excited about routes like:
-Washington Pass: Beckey Route on Liberty Bell, South Arete of SEWS, Spontaneity Arete on Le Petit Cheval
-Mazama: Prime Rib of the Goat, Methow Inspiration Route
-Darrington: Three O'clock Rock, Exfoliation Dome (if there are routes <= 5.7 on them that I don't see on mountain project)
-Open to other suggestions!

About me: I have been climbing for a few years with guides and more seasoned climbers. I've been leading for 1 season, I am focused on safety and don't take unnecessary risks. Good vibes and safe climbs. I lead 5.6 / 5.7 at the Gunks, and have climbed at Red Rocks (Crimson Chrysalis 5.8+, others).

Send me a message!
-Brian

Brian,

Consider this guide service, if you don't get any partners. They are based in Mazama (Washington Pass is in their backyard),

Thanks! I’ve been in touch with them actually but it doesn’t seem like they had many available guides during this time.

They couldn't provide a guide? You don't need "many" giides, just one.

I like to have no fewer than 3 strong, equalized, redundant and efficient guides with me any time I climb.

A guide would be my second choice to finding a partner, again thanks for the suggestion.

Highly recommend Flyboys over Prime Rib if you're in Mazama. 

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
