Hey Fellas,
I moved to Lex for work this week. 26 year old chill dude, looking for partners to check out the fabled Red.
I'm from Arizona, have climbed for about a year pretty frequently all around AZ and some in Colorado. I have been leading sport around 9s and seconding/TR 10c/d. I have some experience seconding trad multi, and setting nat pro TRs but I haven't lead on gear yet. Would love to find a trad partner as well follow to continue to learn good placement before I start building a rack. I have a full set of sport goodies and of course willing to help drive/etc.
Cheers, R

I would get a membership to Bluegrass Bouldering. Be social & you'll find a partner.

My wife and I just moved to Lexington about a month ago and I'm looking for partners, too. I'm 28, probably available most weekends. We've made a couple of trips to hike around the Red just to check it out and it is definitely as advertised.
Did my undergrad at UT and spent most of my climbing time bouldering around Knoxville and Chattanooga, but started to get into sport climbing just before I moved. Primarily interested in sport right now but maybe some trad down the road.
I became a member at Bluegrass Bouldering as soon as we moved and it's a chill place, but no luck yet finding a partner or group since I mostly end up there in the mornings when there's no one else around.
I was hoping to get out to the Red this coming weekend so shoot me a PM if you think you might want to head out there and check it out.

Yes - but i tend to be very sporatic. Haven't been really climbing much lately. Or training for that matter. Probably why I'm stuck climbing 5.9 for life. Hopefully will make it in there more regularly starting next week!
