Hey folks,

Anyone need help with gas money, looking for friendly company, or just need a climbing partner...I am that dude.

Chances are if you climb at hidden peak or the red i have met you at some point.

So, let me know if any friendly climbers with a working vehicle has any extra room in the next few weekends. Or if anyone is looking for a climbing partner for around chicago ever(eg Devils Lake, Jackson Falls), ill be around.

Cheers

i feel for you, i use to have to find rides all the time until i started dating someone from lexington and began flying down, it is so much easier. i'm a former hidden peak employee (just ask miguel about shelly 8) )

i am a former hidden peak employee as well. good luck, i always had problems finding people who wanted to go climbing as often as i did. especially when the weather got bad. so i left chicago. now i can almost climb as much as i want...damn rest days...

i guess what we are suggesting is:

"get away from chicago, far far away!"

you can always go back for a visit once in a while

Well, I guess even if I dont get climbing outside any time soon, its at least good to know that I am not alone and that I shouldnt be ashamed for feeling down.

Hopefully soon I will be far far away, but until then, the struggle to keep my head above water continues.

Where did you guys move to?

well i moved to lexington, ky (fabulous sport climbing, close to many other areas and great people),

then to jackson hole, wy for the summer (beautiful scenery but sport climbing sucks, and lots of tourists),

and now i'm back in lexington.

isnt jackson hole in like the grand tetons or sumthing?

Jackson Falls....is around Marion, IL

I climbed next to some people from chicago this weekend at Jackson. To bad they don't read this forum because I needed you as a rope gun.

yeah i spent the summer in the tetons, starring at the Grand every morning at sunrise, a sight you never get tired of.
