Trad noob!

Post by sklag »

Hey,
I'm relatively new to the world of trad climbing and I've been climbing sport this summer. I was wondering if there were any grungy (or not grungy) old trad masters who would be willing to show me what I need to know in exchange for beer, food, soft catches, etc... pm me to let me know. I do have my own rack, and I can climb 5.10b ish-sport. BTW I live in Columbus- if that matters?
Comfort is a mindset.

In a word....ynot!
What I love about running is you can meditate while running. It's a peaceful place.

Trad is dead in the Red- mostly just a way for weaksauce chuffers to feel tough.
So you got any big gear? I know a good place. :twisted:
The only escape is up.

Ooh, thank you, Jesse! That salt in my wounds is wonderful! :cry:

Glad you had a great weekend. I miss the old gang, and the old Red.

I will be back! :twisted:
