JosephH- I just moved back to portland and I'm looking for folks to climb with, both indoors and out (I prefer outdoors by far.) My experience includes following on multi-pitch climbs up to 5.8 and toproping 5.9+, but I haven't yet led a trad route. Learning to do so is my primary goal; I've put together a motley rack and have been practicing gear placements for a couple of months while top-rope soloing. If you're still making your trips out to Beacon this time of year I'd be more than willing to belay you on whatever you want to climb, or follow up the multi-pitch routes. I'm laid off for the winter months, so my schedule is very, very, flexable.
