good point, thanks

Hello, I would like to learn how to climb trad. A friend of mine who posts on CC.com suggested that I offer to become someone's belay slave in exchange for instruction on how to place gear, etc. I've been climbing for a few years now. I have been leading on sport (inside & outside) for over a year. So to summarize, I'm a noob. But I would like to become a better climber, both on rock and on ice/snow. There are really two things that I would like to learn. First, how to place gear so that I can start alpine climbing. Second, I would like to learn crevice rescue skills. So if anyone is interested, please either respond or PM me. I live in Seattle, WA. Thanks, alex
