5/14 & 5/15 Partners

Anyone climbing this weekend? My usual partners have other obligations but looks like 70 degree weather and no rain for a change so I would love to get out... I will be driving from Cincinnati so would be down to carpool if that works or meet down there either day. I am a very safe competent belayer but not the strongest climber yet, only leading 10s but would love to get on some more 11's. I have a rack so wouldn't mind climbing some 8's and 9's either... just want to get out on the rock! Let me know.

Hey there,
I am living down at Miguel's for a little while picking up partners as I go. My current partner is leaving town on Friday and I'd love to climb this weekend. It seems like we are on a similar page climbing-wise. On TR I can usually make it up hard 11s/easy 12s and am currently leading 10s and trying to get in to 11s. (Had to take a lot of time off before I came down here so I'm still building my endurance back up.) I've never led trad but would love to follow you on some 8s/9s. I also just want to get on some rock as much as possible! Let me know if you're interested.
Chris

Yep, I will be there too with my raincoat on
You know, the best thing about climbing in Red Rocks 2 weeks ago was the blue sky...

I know... I just moved from salt lake city land of blue skies and sun. When I first came back here it was pretty cool and novel being able to climb through a rainstorm, now I just wonder it would be like to climb at the red in 60 degree temps and sun.... Maybe next fall?
