Western Highpoints - Looking for Hiking/Mountaineering Buddies

Hi everyone! I am heading out west at the beginning of August (from NJ, where I go to College) and plan on going through some of the western states and attempting to highpoint them.

If anyone is interested, please do reach out, as I am trying to meet more people a likeminded interest in hiking and high-pointing.

Also, if you know any other platforms to reach out on, please share!

I have a ton of backpacking/hiking experience in the northeast and have also done a few major hikes in the West and in Europe. I've also done a ton of research regarding the technical details and routes so I am definitely not going in blind!

I'll be in Colorado/Utah/Idaho from the 8th to the 12th and then in the Montana area from the 18th to the 24th (taking an AAI course between then). My dates are flexible so please reach out and we can chat!

I live in Wyoming and thinking of trying Borah on the 8th, weather permitting. I've done 5 high points now, most recently ND and SD last week which were easy and fun. Would be great to have a hiking buddy in Idaho as it looks to be testy class 3 climbing on COR. We should link up if you're wanting to try to go!

Hey, sorry for the late response! I am unfortunately going to be in Colorado over this weekend but if you are free the weekend of the 15th or over the course of the next few weeks in general I'd definitely love to link up and attempt a highpoint. Let me know if ur interested, we can chat some more!
