Seeking weekday hiking partners (ideally once a week every week or so)
Starting from scratch with 5-6 hr hikes and will work up to 10+ hr hikes by end of July. the goal is to start off relatively easy... and slowly go for longer and steeper hikes.
I'm not particularly fast, or slow (unless it's stupidly steep). Note: I'm on the skiddish side when it gets very steep and you can see a long way down (though working on it).
Drop me an email if you're interested.
My ideal hikes/scrambles (not in any particular order):
Diez Vistas
High Falls Creek
Tangled Summit
Elk/Thurston
Golden Ears
Elfin/Mamquam (overnight!)
Flora Lake Loop
Mount Elsay
Burke Summit
Three Brothers
Frosty Mountain
Mount Price
Tricouni Peak
Needle Peak
Mount Webb
Mount MacFarlane
Mount Rohr
Mount Marriott
Harris Ridge
Dickson Peak
Locomotive Mountain
Face Mountain
Tender Mountain
Rainbow Mountain
Mount Macfarlane
Mount Elsay
Wedgemount Lake + Mt Weart + Mt Cook
Punch Bowl
Russett Lake and Fissile Peak
Castle Towers
Radium + Mt Macdonald
Coliseum
Ghostpass Lake
Panorama Ridge

You have a grand list to complete. I am a weekend hiker though, and ready now for the 10 hour trips.

Hi there,
I've posted elsewhere, but I'll be on vacation and around midweek in August. But I'll be in Alberta and it may be a bit far for you as it looks like you're in BC.
The hikes I was looking to do are around Lake Louise:
Fairview Mountain summit.
Moraine Lake-Sentinel Pass-Paradise Valley-Annette Lake
Any of the summits/ridges above Rockbound Lake.
I'll be available between August 3rd and 9th and the 13th to 17th. Please email me if you're interested in any of these.

Good luck with your mountain goals Lyda. You have some really nice peaks on there.
When it comes to being skiddish, just get to know the mountain before hand. Read all the TR's on it. Look at it from all aspects on Google Earth, email other hikers about their experience on the mountain.
Fear in the mountains imo comes largely from the unknown. If we get ourselves into something we didn't expect it can wig us out.
Like the saying goes: "plan the climb, climb the plan". It can be applied to any activity in the mountains.
