Of course if you aren't ready to make that kind of financial commitment I'm sure that you will have no problem finding folks to climb with that already have some friends.

Hey Steve/Dana, if you have a strong stomach and can build bomber ground anchors, I'll climb with you. Check out my profile pic. Are you man/woman enough?

hey Steve, I got your PM. Yep! That's really me!! Here's a pic of me with my last climbing partner, camping at the Red. Unfortunately he met with a fatal climbing accident. Okay, really it was a belaying accident.

So when do you want to hook up?

There you go again. Telling people that I am dead.You have a warped sense of humor. Are you still easy,honey?

still and always easy, baby. I actually didn't realize you had fully recovered from that whipper I took. Well if you can call it a whipper when your twin 10.5's snap simultaneously. I still can't believe you survived being in my landing zone, which is admittedly a pretty damn large area. Are you still in the full body cast or are you ready to climb again?

Steve I'm afraid that if you climbed with me as a newbie you would be forever traumatized.

oh and Steve the extra responsibilities that come with the job of climbing with me require a pretty strong stomach, or heavy drug use. There are certain bodily functions that I need help with, if you catch my drift. Maybe you should think about climbing in a gym this Winter in order to learn the basics, buy a little gear (harness, shoes and belay device), and find a lower maintenence partner to teach you the ropes?
