New to site and to sport.

I'm looking for people to go climbing outside with. I've been climbing in the gym, mostly bouldering (Comfotable with ropes though), but have yet to get on any outdoor rock. I'm a pretty strong climber for having just started (strong on V4's and breaking into V5's) and have done a little Ice climbing up in Canada this winter. I have wheels so I am willing to drive. Have weekends off but can take week days off at will too. Anyway, I am looking for someone (or a group) to go climbing with. Always down for hiking/snowshoeing/camping/mountaineering/anything too.

Welcome to cc. In the spring, you will likely see lots of people looking for cragging partners. If you're a good belay and have a good attitude, I'm sure you can find someone to hook up with if you keep a lookout for parter posts.

 

Or if you want to post your own, you'll have more luck if you post threads looking for a partner for a specific date and objective; for instance -- "Partner needed for cragging at Leavenworth this weekend." Just be open and honest about your abilities, and I'm sure you can find someone to take you out.

 

You also might consider something like the Mountaineers. The group itself is somewhat pedantic, but their basic climbing class will at least give you a pretty good grasp of the basics and it's not expensive.

 

Good luck!

Thanks for the pointers Rob.

Not looking to take any classes though. Just cant belay myself up the rock... well i guess I could, but that would be a pain in the ass and not much fun. haha

As far as my abilities, not having been outside, I dont know how the ratings compare, but I'll try anything! I'm even down for climbing in the rain. Not much deters my enthusiasm...
