i am going to be down to the red for a long weekend 6,7,8,9 june, weather depending. looking for a safe reliable partner, i can lead 11a/b sport and 10 trad, but just as happy cruising 8s and 9s. let me know if you are looking too

I just moved to Lexington from Salt lake city and looking to get out to the red. I have led 5.8 and 5.9 sport If your interested i'll be available the 6th-9th.

I was just logging on to post the same thing! Also free til the 12th.

i'd love to make it but can't commit. anyway, there's this from some online news scroll:

...He and a friend were ascending Longs Peak, a 14,249-foot peak, from the western side of Chasm Lake via Lambs Slide when they became separated. Frappier reportedly had no technical experience in climbing or mountaineering and was dressed in cotton clothes and sneakers.

Not sure about accuracy as the headline was 'Sub zero o/n temps' but the article said in the 30's, which seems more likely. Still a bold if slightly stoopid tenacity.

He must have been climbing down the 5.3 Kiener's Route. The 5.3 must have looked easier than the scramble.

I sent you an email I guess it didn't go through, I'm down to climb the 6th-9th.
