maryk Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 fern said: muffy, respectfully, I don't think you know anything about my success at finding partners. I think it's kinda random to bring me up as an example here. I hope maryk finds some partners, I don't think it matters whether or not she leads. Plenty of people around here seem to get hooked up with ropeguns. I agree with both of you, and believe me I've heard the whole "learn to lead" thing several times. Of course I want to learn to lead. I've been climbing for a mere 5 months, so it's not like I've been dragging my feet on leading - I think now is about the right time. BUT, one can't "learn to lead" without partners or help or guidance (or gear!, which I don't have b/c I'm B.R.O.K.E.). Still, I don't see why not leading is such a problem. I can't climb crazy hard stuff, but I can climb moderate stuff. I have been out with a handful of friendly folks, but I'm just still getting to know folks in the climbing community and don't have any regular friends or partners that automatically make plans with me, so I have to keep asking around. I'm not as frustrated as I may sound, just antsy to get on the rock. Maybe I'll just have to solo..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a solo device, if you can use one, and boulder. you don't need a partner, and it keeps your chops up Personaly I HATE to solo, and I don't realy like to boulder either, but I do both if I have to get out and no one can go with me. My regulare climbing partner goes out of town on buisness alot, but she is kind enough to lend me her gear if she isn't going to be arround.

Beck Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 jesus, that scared me. while the screen was opening on my ENIAc (took a litle while) I was thinking, "A comet the size of Marlon Brando is going to impact the earth in 2009 and is going to end life on this planet as we know it by 2020." I'm glad that was a big sigh of relief (don't scare us, peter, man...) once i saw the first post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of people around here seem to get hooked up with ropeguns. Sorry. I was just pointing out that when you lead, I believe it is easier to find people to climb with. I hope she does too. It was a comment to your offer to ropegun for cheese sandwiches last week i thought you were saying you were being harsh to people like fern always is!!!!!

Peter_Puget Posted September 12, 2003 Author Share Posted September 12, 2003 Well the complicated climber tracking tool (see first post) predicts crowds in the mountains. Static Point is the place to be. See you all on Fuddhat! PP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
