Looking for 14er Partner(s) for the Elk, Sangre, and San Juan Ranges

Post by mattwallace228 »

Hello, I am new to Boulder and would like to connect with folks interested in summiting 14ers in the Elk, Sangre, and San Juan ranges, but also prominent and popular peaks throughout the American West. I have summited roughly half of the states 14ers solo. However, I am at the point where I would prefer to connect with like minded people of similar age and ability to share these experiences. I am in my late 20's and typically climb these mountains in fast and light style. I would say I have adequate scrambling/climbing skills that some of the mountains require. I have a trail running background, and like to mix in running when the terrain allows. If this interests you, please reach out!

All the best,

Matt

Hey Matt this Matt 2. I think our styles would match up well. I climb a lot and have a good bit of hiking experience. I have a contrived schedule with mostly Monday and Tuesdays off. I have done most of the 14ers around here and am looking to drive to the San juans at least once this summer to get it in. Let me know if your can ever swing those days off for hiking. Cheers Matt 4439008741

Hey Matt(s),

This is Parsa. I live in Lafayette and have kind of similar plan for future 14ers. So far, I've done ~ 25 of them (mostly class 1 and 2 and some class 3s). I'll be doing Oxford Belford this Saturday. I'd love to connect for this and next hikes! 970-227-9973

Hello Matt and Parsa,

Thanks for reaching out! I will try and connect through direct message when I have more established plans for heading to these ranges.

Best,
