Will Become Belay Slave for Food -- and training

[alexm]

Hello,

 

I would like to learn how to climb trad. A friend of mine who posts on CC.com suggested that I offer to become someone's belay slave in exchange for instruction on how to place gear, etc.

 

I've been climbing for a few years now. I have been leading on sport (inside & outside) for over a year.

 

So to summarize, I'm a noob. But I would like to become a better climber, both on rock and on ice/snow. There are really two things that I would like to learn. First, how to place gear so that I can start alpine climbing. Second, I would like to learn crevice rescue skills. So if anyone is interested, please either respond or PM me.

 

I live in Seattle, WA.

 

Thanks,

 

alex

It helps if you let people know where you are located.

Alex-

Im looking for a partner for Sunday, cragging or "alpine light" at WA pass. Id be happy to show you anything I know. Crevise rescue/self rescue would not be my strong points but if you want some critique of your gear placements or building anchors then I consider myself solid with that. At least my gear had always held the fall 50% of the time
