Julia Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 Hey everyone, My boyfriend and I just moved to Seattle and I'm looking for climbing partners. I'm mostly a rock climber but am getting into mountaineering reciently and hope to climb some mountains in addition to rock this summer. I'm really looking for other girls to climb with, so if you're a girl rock climber or mountaineer, let me know! I'd love to climb with you! For rock climbing, I've got lots of room to improve. I'm currently only climbing 5.8's and 5.9's clean on top rope. I can get up a 10, but it's not pretty. Trad is my favorite, but sport is fun too. My goal for the summer is to climb 10's solidly and to be leading sport 8's by September. Next summer, I'll learn to lead trad. As far as mountaineering goes, I'm taking a beginning mountaineering course through the Washington Alpine Club this Spring. I'm planning on climbing Mt. Whitney, Mt, Hood, Mt. Adams, and Mt. Baker this summer. Next summer, I hope to do Rainer. Quote
PBRstreetgang Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 you have almost my same story right now except im male just moved here with my girlfriend Quote
JayB Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Hopefully you'll be able to meet some local women through this board, but the demographics here tend to be a bit skewed towards the Y-chromosome, so it may be worth contacting an outfit like www.sheclimbs.org or putting up notice at Stone Gardens or Vertical World as well. Good luck finding partners and enjoy the PNW. Quote
peakbetty Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Hey, I am not quite a lead climber yet, I am taking a lead climbing course this year, and have good experience with glacier climbing. If you would like to go out for a conditioning hike, or hit the gym, let me know. I too need to expand my climbing community. PM me if you want. Quote
starlettjesi Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Hello- I am a little out of the way as I live in Bellingham (1.5 hrs north, but I am always looking for partners. Mt Hood is definitely on my list as well this summer. I have done several alpine routes in the cascades. I am leading 5.8 trad and following 5.10. My preference is also for trad and I would love to be leading 5.10 by the end of this summer, in hopes for a little yosemite action in the fall. Jesi Quote
mzchristy Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 Hello Ladies on cc.com! Julia and I are meeting at Stone Gardens this Friday (March 24th) at 1:30pm. It would be great to meet you all in person if you can make it. Hopefully, we can get a group of ladies climbing strong together this summer! Christy Quote
kij Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 I checked out sheclimbs and their Washington state contact is Amy Recker at Vertical World, but mail to her bounced. The sheclimbs site looks pretty dated. I'm new to climbing and looking for partners, but I'm not at your level, Julia. I only just started (like three weeks ago), so I'm doing a lot of top-roped 5.7s and 5.8s and building some muscle so I can boulder. Quote
kij Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 I hope y'all do this again. I work downtown, so after work is great for me, but otherwise that's what lunchbreaks are for. Quote
mzchristy Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Hello Ladies, OK, so we're going to do this again next Friday, March 31st. Hopefully you can all make it! Let's try for noon on Friday, at Stone Gardens. PM me if there is another time that works better for you. Hope to see you there! Maybe I can have a sign up welcoming all the ladies from cc.com Quote
mzchristy Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 OK...I received a bunch of PMs about tomorrow at Stone Gardens. It seems the ladies of cc.com are really out there! Many of you were opting for a later time at the gym. OK, let's try for 2pm, tomorrow, March 31st. Let me know if that works for you!! Cheers, Christy Quote
mzchristy Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 There was definetely cleavage! It was great to have met you ladies last Friday! We're going to plan to meet again this Friday at Stone Gardens until the weather gets better and we can rope up outside. 2pm-ish at SG perhaps? Maybe later? PM me with times you can meet. Rock on ladies! Christy Quote
kij Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 Was fabulous. SG is empty at that time of day/week. Can't wait for the next one! Quote
Mos_Chillin Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 TR? pics? short shorts and prana tops? Easy there, "Dad". Quote
Distel32 Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 it's only "window shopping....." Yeah I can't wait for the little bugger to pop out! Quote
mzchristy Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 OK Ladies of cc.com! We're on for Friday, April 7th, 3pm, at Stone Gardens. Perhaps happy hour to follow? Warm weather will move us outdoors SOON! (cross fingers) Maybe I should move this to the Events forum... See you all on Friday! cheers, Christy Quote
