Hi,
I am an avid hiker/backpacker, but am looking to get into mountaineering. I've done Mount St. Helens twice, and am looking to gain experience to do harder more technical hikes. I'm trying to take some classes on mountaineering basics and safety, but have some difficulties finding inexpensive classes. Also I want to be able to constantly apply what I learn so I don't forget it and have it be a waste of money.

So if anyone who is experienced or have at least done some harder climbs and willing to partner with someone less experienced, I'm all in.
