Dustin B. Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Hey, I am looking for a climbing mentor to help me gain the experience needed to progress onto the big walls. I have done a sememster with NOLS, and I hold a WFR card. I am ok with wilderness climbs and longer approaches (though I am looking for single day climbs for now, or overnighters). I am a solid belayer, know how to build anchors and place gear (but my gear leading is limited to about 5.6 right now, looking to improve this), I also know basic rescue techniques (belay escapes) and some very basic aid (ascending fixed lines, self belays, clean placements). I have climbed at Devils Tower, Freemount Canyon, The Needles, and many local crags (eastern wa mostly). I understand that finding a climbing partner online has its drawbacks, and I would expect a few climbing sessions to get to know you before thinking about doing anything bigger, but I have a strong desire to learn how to safely, cleanly, and efficiently climb big rocks. Thanks for your time and hopefully I can find some climbing partners to help me develop my skills. I currently am climbing 5.10- face and 5.10+ cracks on toprope/cleaning, but am training and getting better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithophiliac Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Hey Dustin, I've got a pretty busy schedule, but I'm sure that I could work in some time to get you out somewhere. Snow creek wall, Chimney rock, Index, etc... Not sure if I know you already?? I am also in Cheney. Good luck in your search. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
