climbinggirl35 Posted June 17, 2003 Posted June 17, 2003 Sport climbing is my thing - looking for partner for top roping - outdoors or indoors (vertical world, cascade crags, etc...); looking to build skills...Evenings or weekends... thanks! Quote
Fence_Sitter Posted June 17, 2003 Posted June 17, 2003 what time do you get off for 'evenings' i get off at 1:00 so if that works and you wanna follow some trad, lemme know... Quote
thelawgoddess Posted June 17, 2003 Posted June 17, 2003 dude, she said "sport climbing"? geez. Â i might be up for some evening climbing. if we're talking gyms, stone gardens is it for me. (i can't afford to go anywhere else!) i live in seattle, but i'm usually done with work by 4pm so hitting up exit 38 in the evening is definitely feasible. Â i take it from your first post that you don't lead yet? Quote
Fence_Sitter Posted June 17, 2003 Posted June 17, 2003 hoping to gain a new convert! i skip right over that word anyways... what's different about sport if you are folowing? you get to climb a nice esthetic crack instead of a couple o' glue in holds? i'll pass! Quote
thelawgoddess Posted June 17, 2003 Posted June 17, 2003 no harm in trying, but there's definitely a difference. both have their ups and downs. from my own personal experience with people who haven't climbed much, some people actually get freaked out climbing (and even belaying) on gear. don't knock sport climbing, dude. it's like bouldering but with way bigger boulders! (btw, when we going to smiff?) Quote
Fence_Sitter Posted June 17, 2003 Posted June 17, 2003 sport climbing is wussy bouldering! ie with ropes! Quote
allthumbs Posted June 17, 2003 Posted June 17, 2003 set one up scott - but have it a bit unorganized so everyone feels at home. Quote
Fence_Sitter Posted June 17, 2003 Posted June 17, 2003 yeah i am down... when are y'all thinking? (that was my north side accent). last time was fun... lemme know Quote
climbinggirl35 Posted June 18, 2003 Author Posted June 18, 2003 (edited) I've done a bit of outdoor climbing, so I'm not absolutely green ; I usually get off work (in Downtown Seattle) about 5; home by 5:30 or so (yup some of us still have the ol' grind...); the only lead climbing I've done is some basic training (clip into/cleanup of bolted routes and anchors) and practice during a 5 week class I took indoors. But ya can't get better if ya don't try it... Â PS I have some basic gear, but am not all outfitted.. Edited June 18, 2003 by climbinggirl35 Quote

scot'teryx Posted June 19, 2003 Posted June 19, 2003 Is anyone really interested? I spoke to Mike and he said we could have a big climbing night that would get you accerss to the gym for free by using your avatar followed up by a pub club at the flying pig and get some good deals or something on barrels of beer and stuff. Â Fence Sitter and Mystic Nacho will follow it up by streaking the streets of Everett Quote
