Hi guys,

Well, looks like I am going to be in Argentina for a bit longer. I am still looking for partners to climb with in South America, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia and such, interested in anything from rock climbing, ice climbing, even scuba diving, any sort of trekking or travel, skydiving will even work for me, just got to get out there, and away from the city.

Buenos Aires is killing me, I am here for girlfriend reasons, need to be out in the hills though, need to be training.

Prior experience worth mentioning is Mont Blanc (2008,) Aconcagua (solo, Ruta Normal, 2009) Denali (Mt. Mckinley - West Buttress twice - 2010 and 2011, more or less solo) some experience with Ice Climbing (Iceland, not much, but relatively strong and willing to push it) and some experience on rock, (sport climbing, limited to maximum 5.11a - but dedicated to push myself, mostly climbed in Thailand and Mexico on rock.) Also, been travelling the world for two decades, Africa, Middle and Far East and South America, usually off the beaten path.

Very good knowledge of navigation, expedition planning, weather, glacier travel, crevasse rescue, belaying and such, relatively strong physically and mentally, and totally dedicated.

Future goals are Pakistan - Broad Peak (2012 or 2013,) Nepal - Manaslu or similar (2012 or 2013) and Everest (2013 or 2014.) I might be on The Polish Glacier route on Aconcagua in December/January and I am interested in the Cordillera Blanca in Peru, especially Mt. Alpamayo.

I am also open to other ideas.

Send wisdom at once,

Regards,

Siggi - Buenos Aires

kholodenko	Tupungato
	Hi Siggi, You will find that I just made a post requesting a partner for Tupungato, but then saw your post. Are you interested? If you don't know about it, Tupungato is 6570m and a not very technical mountain, although ice axe and crampon use is required. Get back to me if you are interested in joining me, as I am looking for a partner to climb it. Thanks, Aaron

		Always looking for a rush - when is this going to happen, and sorry for the late reply - been around the world a few times for the last three months, just washing off the travel dust in Buenos Aires - keeping the flames going on the romantic side. Rather be climbing. Regards - Siggi

chalkfinger	climbing partner
	Hi Siggi, interesting to read your post. I am a 36 year old swiss guy, living since 2 years in mendoza (on the other side of arg. - at least some hills nearby ;-) But because ot the workload i didnt make a lot of mountain (except aconcagua and some tradclimbings in los arenales). Now I will take some time of to travel and climb. From march on i will be heading down south to patagonia (el chalten or bariloche). And later this year i would like to go again to peru (have been there 2010 and made the vajunaraju 5680m) to do some more tecnical climbings.. If you are interested to conect yourself with me just let me know. my mail: marianus_link@me.com Cheers, Marianus
