need trad partner for march 30 - april 6
I work second shift and haven't climbed in weeks, I need my fix. Will be coming down from Dayton, Ohio for a week and was hoping to find someone to do some trad with before i arrived. I don't have a lot of trad under my belt but i am safe and effective. my plan is to build trad confidence. would love to do multi-pitch but i have only done two and never placed gear for leading a second i will do sport but i really want to place every piece of gear i can. what i want to hit is simple gold coast, the stadium, purple valley, hens nest on sat. or sun. half moon and im open to other walls as well contact me if this sounds good even if you can only do one day i may head out to the new river area as well so if some one needs a ride just ask.

Rough draft #1... Waiting for the next draft, so I may be able to understand what you are looking for.
I don't have haters, I have fans in denial.

I can have a second draft in 4 weeks but its really long and i cant find a publisher to help with the editing maybe i will run into someone at the red but i rather have a plan before i get there.

Might help to put up the grade you are comfortable climbing. If you can link up with someone to do Foxfire that's about the best multi-pitch. It like Full Moon likes big gear though so runout comfort could be a factor.

confidence isn't to high right know but i should be able to at least clean an 11 lead a easy 10 for trad, sport i know i can do a 10c may even do better, i have fallen on a run out its not a experience i would choose to do again. I'm in shape just not climbing shape. knowledgeable not experienced number of trad climbs 12 sport climbs i couldn't count that high sport route i want to give a go (sport for brains) trad (cheaper than a movie)

I’m well informed in trad climbing anchor systems and self rescue buddy rescue So my only questionable skill is gear placement (this is my confidence issue), and conditioning. I just didn’t want to loose out on a really good partner because he or she would think I had never been out before as far as ability I want to do a 5.9 trad but I can follow just about anything even if I have to hang dog or jug up the rope. I also want to do a 5.11 sport but I fear I’m out of climbing shape. I’m a open book and just can’t wait to get to the red I haven’t been in so long.
