1. A method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
monitoring a plurality of synchronization signal resources, each synchronization signal resource of the plurality of synchronization signal resources associated with a beam of a set of beams;
transmitting, as part of a random access procedure with a network device, a first random access message comprising a preamble via a random access resource in accordance with multiple candidate beams of the set of beams satisfying a channel quality threshold, wherein transmission of the first random access message comprising the preamble via the random access resource indicates that the multiple candidate beams satisfy the channel quality threshold;
receiving, based at least in part on transmitting the first random access message, an indication of a first beam of the multiple candidate beams; and
establishing a connection with the network device via the first beam.
