4/26-4/29 Would Like Experienced Climber Help!

[k1sleigh]

As a graduation present for myself, my boyfriend and I are traveling down to climb at the gorge April 26-29. We have taken lessons on sport climbing and done it in the gym, but have never been able to apply what we have learned outdoors, this will be the first time in the wild for us. If there is anyone who has experience that would be willing to help provide some guidance for us that weekend so we don't kill ourselves, it would be much appreciated!

@wolf & allah, it's more just that we are not totally comfortable with setting anchors on our own. We aren't worried about finding our way around. We have the guidebook and have been studying/reading it and kind of have a game plan for where we want to go, it's more the actual lead climbing outdoors thing, technical skills thing we are looking for help on. Thanks though!

I suggest you add hiring a guide to your graduation gift - it's really difficult for people to give up their weekends for gumby strangers.
