Trad Climbing

Post by **n_pertuset** » Sun May 13, 2007 11:25 pm

I live fairly close to the Red, and have been sport climbing for a little while. I'm very interested in getting into trad climbing, but don't know very many people that do it. I was wondering if anyone had some spare time, or was looking for someone to climb with (or allowed me to follow around

), I'd love to go out and learn some stuff (trad). Feel free to PM me. Thanks.

There are no trad routes at the Red. Everything was bolted this Winter.

Too bad. I hear there was really fun movement from the jugs to the big slopers to that two-finger undercling pocket.

Yep. Somebody ripped the bottom of the pocket and now it's just a gaping hole.

I don't mind taking newbies out climbing but I won't be climbing fora while. The last couple guys that went seemed to be well versed in what to do and not to do.I was impressed. A guide is worth the money if you truley don't know what you are doing.
