midweek climbing in Spokompton

[NYC007]

Looking for someone or ones to climb (ongoing) afternoons in spokane/post falls. Interested in a mix of sport or trad climbing. Not looking to go out and TR. I am usually free from 330 or 430 on.

I like to top rope. I don't understand what's wrong with a little tr'ing?

 

 

[NYC007]

nothing is wrong with it. I can do that alone... I am not interesting in only tr'ing as some are.

pm bigbro... he needs to get out climbing more often. You might have to drag him away from his studies... but it's ok. He needs some time away from the books.

I could hook up occassionally for some trad. I'm only leading easily protected moderates right now though. Still, if you have some more difficult stuff you're interested in, I can belay and follow. Couldn't go on a regular schedule cause already doing too many days per week (according to my spousal unit). I'm off at 3 daily.

Hey NYC Just head out to the local crag and show up there on your own.

 

Before the advent of climbing discussion boards (in the old days), Spokane-area climbers used to just show up at Minne and find partners that way. It's still the best way. I've been out there a few late afternoons so far this spring, and there've been several groups of climbers. Most are pretty social and would be glad to share a rope or a belay, including learn or be pushed a bit by a climber such as yourself.

 

For quite a few years, especially in the late 80s, the varied group of folks that hung out there were pretty tight. Back then and up through the early 90s, I'd show up most weekday evenings. Finding partners was usually not a problem, even with less climbers back then. If I didn't find or didn't want a partner, I'd boulder or rope-solo.

 

I'm sure Post Falls/Q'emiln will have a similar scene as Minne nowadays.

 

It can't hurt either to twist Bigbro's arm. I'm also sending you a PM for another possible partner who would swap leads with you. [edited to add: yeah, spotly would be a good podner too]

 

Good luck.

thanks steve, I have done that and sometimes it works but not all climbers are welcoming. Spotly I am not looking to get out and lead all hard stuff, I just prefer to lead it if in my ability over TRing. feel free to PM me when ever, unless I have a test I am always willing to climb sport/trad.

I'm moving to Laclede on Tuesday if anyone wants to roll up there, I'll be living 3 minutes from the parking area.
