Welcome Them!

Short Bio, outdoor experience, or Share something with the group.: Hi, My name is Joe. I am a backcountry enthusiast, an avid climber and skier, and a student of nature; I have over 20 years of experience in the backcountry and about 8 leading expeditions for friends and family members. Now, I spend about 50-80 nights a year in the backcountry with friends or just my dog. Most of these nights, you can find me in the Ventana Wilderness (Los Padres NF), or somewhere off Hwy 395 (Kennedy Meadows/Sherman's Pass, Lone Pine, Bishop).

Skiing for the last 23 years, I have been lucky enough to travel around the US to find the biggest and best ski lines.

For about 3 years, I have been moving away from resort skiing entirely. This has brought climbing and alpinism into my life in a big way, and over time, my skiing goals have fused with my new-found loves. I have always wanted to establish as many first descents off remote 4000-8000m peaks; now I'm looking for a FA/FD combo.

I am always looking for partners who are interested in working on something like this or similar projects - near or far. Looking for winter Mt Whitney, North Palisade, or Shasta partners THIS SPRING 2021!!

How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on:( officialaishacbdd@gmail.com ) for the full details.
Have a nice day
Thanks God bless
