I prefer to climb with just one partner.

at the same time, I find it hard because sometimes I see so many people that I rarely get to climb with anymore and wish I could spend the day climbing with everyone individually.

If you think second hand smoke kills, you should take a whiff of J-Rock's farts! :P

I used to not mind the larger groups but I realized that I became lazy and too social. So one on one is the way for me.

I think we have found the key. The poll is asking who we prefer to "climb" with, not who we prefer to sit around and chat with. But for a large percentage of folks who climb, it is not about the climbing anyway. It is about nature, socializing, forgetting about work, diversion, a bit of exercise, etc. A harness and shoes are merely an excuse to get their fill of these other needs.

I like three, so we can take turns belaying and resting between burns.

Real climbers, besides walking 12a, also realize that 80% of what goes on at the crags any given weekend is not climbing at all. :twisted:

No thank you!

I do find that there is more socialization & less climbing when the group is larger. Guess it depends on how I feel that day. Good topic though.

I'll be bringing my daughter to the crag for the first time this weekend. I'm nervous! She's VERY active.
