Hey all, trying to expand my climbing partners/network and seeing if anyone out there might be interested in any of these objectives. Im free the last week of July to the end of August. I am pretty comfortable leading to 5.8 on gear. Looking for potential partners that know how to belay and have good stamina for long days. Happy to teach trad skills, how to rappel, technical skills. You dont necessarily need to know how to lead trad either. If any of these look interesting to you then feel free to reach out!! Also, I am located in Durango, but down to drive all over the state.
Mt.Blue Sky 2nd Apron , 5.7 6 pitches
Wetterhorn North Face- would be exploratory in nature, almost no info online, 5.7-9 unknown pitch #, likely a 2 day overnight outing
Pikes Peak - Zebs Arete 5.7+ 8 pitches
Crestone Needle - Ellingwood Ledges 5.7 Direct Start 4-6 pitches into the Needle to Peak Traverse, likely an overnight or very long day
Longs Peak- Kieners Route 5.4, Keyhole Ridge 5.6, or if anyone needs a solid follower for any route on the Diamond under 5.11b that would be super rad
Sunlight Spire
Also outside of the 14ers plenty of moderate trad climbs in RMNP I am interested in.- NE ridge sharkstooth, N ridge of Spearhead, Great Dihedral Hallett Pk, N Buttress or Crescent Ridge on Pagoda, S face Petit Grepon
Also Lone Eagle Peak N face looks sick.

Interested in the RMNP objectives. Still new to following pitch climbs but I've done multi pitch climbs before a couple times and would like to get into it more. I'll send you a DM
