Want to Bag Every Peak and See Every Canyon in Southern Utah?

As the title says; I'm going to do it all in the next 6 months or so. Looking for partners of all skill level and experience. I'm very new at climbing (let's say single pitch, TR, 5.9ish), but want to do it all.

PLEASE: Yes or no would be GREATLY appreciated and REALLY shouldn't be that much to ask. Thank you very much.

Bagging every peak and seeing every canyon in Southern Utah is actually quite a lot to ask of a partner

I'm not exactly sure what you define as a peak but I have a half a decades worth of experience doing exclusively this.    

I live near Zion and me tagging most of all peaks just in Zion will take me near a lifetime.  It gets pretty hairy out on these mountains.  

  For both just the Moab and Zion area alone you will need experience in multipitch, trad, aid climbing, big wall, choss, extensive rope systems, backpacking, backcountry navigation and packing, and indepth canyoneering. 

Though the timeline is something I would list as impossible, the overarching goal is not.   From your skill set you provided in the text, I ask that you PLEASE train for at least a few years first. Learn your fundamentals and become technically sound.  Most importantly, find partners you can trust. This is very dangerous and needs to be taken seriously. I have friends that have died doing this sport.  I agree that ideas can be exciting but they only matter if you come home safe.   

If you're in the Zion area, if my schedule is compatible to yours, I'd be more than happy to take you on some starter peaks that would get your feet wet.

Fair enough. When I said "not a lot to ask" I was strictly speaking of a yes or no answer from people.

I'm certainly not planning on someone putting their entire life on hold to help me: I would however love for anyone who wants to do any climbs or any canyons to do one or two with me. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for your input. I sent you a message 

Damn. I need to dream bigger lol. Thanks!

How did Lady Mountain go?

Read freedom of the Hills, get the Courtney Purcell peak books for Zion and go scramble the easier routes. Figure out your tolerance for grades and fear. Go do tabernacle and north guardian and know how to rappel as you might want to. It’s a long game in the mountains. Learn to lead, build anchors, read good and bad rock and get your head screwed on tight. Go from there. James is a good resource :).
