Yes that's right, a 9 day climbing trip! Recently I found out that my usual climbing partner is unable to make it. I am coming from Central Illinois so I wanted to see if anyone could help me out. I am lead certified at the rock climbing gym and have been climbing for well over a year now. I have climbed at the red before and have all my own gear for outdoor sport. I climb at about a 5.10, and I'm pretty comfortable at 5.9. All that's needed from you is your own harness. I will be staying at Lago Linda Hideaway, it's very nice and only $5 a night. It would be great if you be able to do all 9 days, but if you are only able to do a couple of days, that's fine by me. If you have any questions for me or would like to know more, you can give me a call at 484-727-8420, or send me an email at dan.papuga at gmail d0t c0m. Thank you very much.

If you can't find a partner before your trip, you'd be better off staying at Miguel's and hooking up with folks who are down for spring break. i know it's not as quiet as Linda's but i'd rather have good climbing than good sleep if i had to make the choice. good luck

That is a very good point, I will have to consider that.

and miguels is only like two bucks a night and you can get a nice hot shower there too i think there are six bathrooms but dont quote me boy.....anyway just put your tent as far away from the fire and you should be good probably......you can always go up and ask a group or someone who looks like they are just sitting around doing the same thing your doing

I might have to do that, but I'm still hoping to find someone in time.....

if you bring prune juice, sugar-free hard candy, and some metamucil with you i'm sure someone from linda's would be willing to take their hovaround out for a day of catch the whipper-snapper.


just make sure they are back in time for matlock and pudding

That's kind of odd, I was already planning on bringing those exact things. I guess I won't have any problems finding anybody.

I found somebody from 4/9 to 4/13, so I still need someone from 4/5 till 4/9. And I'm learning to trad lead, so if someone could help with that, it would be most appreciated.
