5'11", 150. I seek like-minded, thoughtful friends of all ages who share my passion for hiking, alpine climbing, snowshoeing, all non-competitive forms of skiing, biking, and/or other active outdoor pursuits. Pretty adventurous and open-minded in general, and enjoy a range of intellectual, cultural and community interests. Often able to get out on weekdays.

Locations within striking distance of spectacular, challenging mountains.

Avid hiker, sometimes getting to full-fledged alpine work - technical routes, snow/ice, skis. Am a special fan of fast-paced, single-day 20+ mile traverses entailing lots of elevation gain (e.g., Presidential traverses, Pemi loops) - but that said, just about any mountain is a pleasure. I also enjoy off-trail map/compass bushwhacking. NH is my primary mountain playground, and I try to get out west at least once each year. I'm also a very active AMC trip leader in all seasons. I take special pleasure in sharing in the fun and splendor of the mountains with friends at all skill/experience levels.
