partner for Aug 1 - Aug 7

Looking for a Sport Climbing partner for this week. I'm looking to lead 10s through 11s, with maybe a few easy 12s (basically "The (old) Zoo" is my range. Don't mind some long 8s or 9s as well. You can pick the area. Also may split the trip up and put some time in at the New if anyone is i...
