Seattle Cragging Partners Sought

[ChrisAbajian]

Weekend warrior dad, leading mid 10s, seeks

partner(s) for day trips to the local crags

(or out to the mountains if I can get away).

Have reliable car, gear, experience, yadda

yadda. I'll follow harder than I lead or

just belay my partner if they want to work

something really hard. I have no problem with

doing really easy routes for less experienced

partners, I'm in it for fun & stress reduction.

Hello Chris,

 

I'm also a weekend warrior dad, also leading mid 10s, also seeking partner(s) for day trips to the local crags. I'm looking for a partner on Sunday. Send me email and let's climb.

Hey Steve... not sure if you know this or not... but its kinda hard for one to email you when you don't put your email address in your profile. send one a PM (personal message) now that's different.

Hmmm... Sound's great! I could often use another partner myself. But am I at the wrong web site if I ask if you climb sober and have outgrown the use of mind altering drugs -- not to mention climb safely?

Hey Krazy,

 

Use the email icon above the message to email me. My email address is not exposed but people can still email me. Looks like no climbing today...I'm going fishing.

Yep. Wrong site. Just a bunch of adolescent drug-addled gumbies around here. You'll have better luck at nwhikers.net.

[moonchild]

That's what I was afraid of. I've been forewarned about the folks here (though the forewarning isn't necessary if one reads a few posts), which is why I asked. That's too bad. Oh well. Oh, and for your information Roger, while there may be the occasional climber on nwhikers.net, it's a HIKING site, not a rock climbing site.

i would like to say that it takes all kinds. so why dont you find someone else to take you....hopefully not a drug addled adollescent with a death wish...i hear mike layton is pretty 'NORMAL'.......

 

instead of attempting to find only the negatives in everything, you should search out the postives. people with condoning attitudes to do not get fat outside of normal society. that i because not one person is the same as the next. there are certainly like minded individuals that i am sure you can find if you search. but not seeing them here does not justify you traching what you don't like.

 

tolerance is key...go buy some!!!

Precisely what I'm doing and the reason for my post. Thanks for noticing.

Huh? I'm looking for the positives, which is the reason for my post. Thanks again for noticing.

Not sure what you're even talking about here. I can't make any sense out of it. What does condoning and getting fat have to do with anything? And what's your definition of a "normal society"? And as far as "condoning" the way you climb - you can climb however you want, I just want safe and clear minds with ME. I like to climb and therefore want to live to climb another day. Climbing in itself is an escape. No point in escaping from climbing with mind-altering drugs.

Really?! Whew! That's a relief!

I can't find what "traching" means anywhere. So no clue what you're trying to say. Interesting that you're so offended by my looking for mature (and not necessarily an age thing) climbers, though. Why is it that YOU don't approve of others who want to climb safely and climb in the presence of others who want to climb safely? An amusing post, eric.

Hey Moonchild, you and Sctt'tyrex should get along great. As for me, I save the sacred substaneces for when I am done climbing.

[Chode-A-Boy]

Holy Crap! someone asks a silly question about climbing while not fucked up on the weed, and look what happens. I personally do not smoke weed, and probably won't again. That doesn't make me a dork, loser or intolerant to people who do smoke pot. I am constantly amazed that all of you pot smokin' climbers rip on people who don't smoke the kind.

 

I figure different strokes for different folks, most of my friends smoke pot (usually not while climbing) and I could care less, I just don't smoke.

 

So I guess that probably makes me uncool or something and now you can go on and beat the scotteryx post and rip on me.

 

Have fun.

ok everybody... lets just take a deep breath. we all have our own ways of dealing with life, liberty and the persuit of happiness, lets not all get our panties in a bunch here.

 

the fact is, is that we are all joined in the union of the climbing world in one way or another, and we look for partners of all kinds, lets just be thankful for the friends that we have and stick with that.

 

as for me... i might as well be smoken crack for sticking my head in the middle of this one. so for those that agree...

[ChrisAbajian]

Wow, didn't expect to start all this. Why can't everybody just be nice and just go climbing?

 

 

Come to think of it, I've always suspected that Kermit arrived at his equanimity with the help of controlled substances...
