I am going to be picking up my van in J-tree in about two weeks, climbing there for a bit and then working my way to Indian creek when the weather/mood seems right. I'm looking for someone to help defray the cost of gas and perhaps even to climb with. I'm climbing in Mexico right now and sort of bored with all this bolt-clipping. Do you or someone you know need a ride? Message me soon please. Oh, schedule is flexible and van is too sweet for words (did I mention the wood burning stove?). --Brad

Hi, I'll be in Leavenworth all weekend and I'm looking for a climbing partner. I imagine we'll just be cragging, though, I have a decent crash pad... don't know if you'd be into doing a little bouldering, but I would (I just really want to get a decent work out on real rock and cragging is so spread out in leavenworth... not that I wouldn't crag if that was my only option...) Anyway, give me a call this weekend (my phone won't be turned on today) and let me know if you're going to make it out and we'll try to meet up. Also, I have a full rack, rope, lead into the 11's, but that doesn't really matter in Leavenworth because we can walk to the top of just about everything. 206-856-0022 --Brad

Hey, I'm going to Leaveneworth on Friday, then coming back to seattle on sunday and then I'm probably going to turn around and go back... maybe monday (is that the 6th?). I think I'll want to stay out there until the following weekend. Let me know if you wanna ride. I actually don't have a climbing partner for the trip yet either. I've lead gear routes into the hard elevens, but I usually fall alot and its a real shit-show... I'm solid following on any 11's (I won't be flailing and taking all day). I'm solid leading 10's on gear and I can make my way up sport into the 12's. I've also got a pretty complete rack. I'd also be into maybe bouldering a couple of times out there... I've got a decent pad. I'd like to stay pretty motivated out there and get alot of climbing done, but I'm laid back enough. What do you think? --Brad 509-368-7145

Hi... ...I accidentally abandoned my tent poles (for a Marmut Mach II) on the Yukon river a few years ago and I've been using my bivy sac ever since. If you've got extra mach II poles and want to trade or sell them... let me know what you want for them.

I bought a brand-new (well it sat in climate-controlled storage for a little while) Wild Things hard-shell from a buddy of mine who was pretty strapped for cash and used it on my motorcyle maybe twice. Its in perfect condition. I'll consider all offers, and of course, the best offer gets it. I'm also interested in trading for rock pro.. especially small cams (C3's, zeros, master-cams and/or aliens). I suppose I also need a tent, so let me know what you've got. Thanks for looking!

I'd offer you my wild things gortex suit, but I'm hoping to trade it for money so I can use it to buy something that will be useful in the coming economic collapse. Good luck... and are you sure you want to get rid of such a useful "unit". What makes you think you'll be safe from the bread-line bandits?
