I am moving to Louisville on the 12th of August and am looking for people to climb with. I'm planning to climb at RockSport a couple times a week and then at the Red on weekends that I'm not paddling. I have been climbing for about 4 1/2 years but recently I haven't been climbing as much resently so I probably climb around 5.10+/5.11-. I was thinking about going to the Red next weekend, is it way to hot in August? Thanks for your help

edit note: it seems that it is impossible to write the word ... well, i can't write it because it (the server or something) will change it to Nude. the word Nude in the topic should be a three letter N word suggest that i will be shortly arriving in the area (or, in another context, something you just got is N*W). hopefully this rant clarifies things and doesn't make me look like a spaz you wouldn't want to climb with...
and i while i think its kind of funny but no, i don't climb nude

well, if it's too hot you can always climb nude...

We have been having unseasonably cool weather, so now is the perfect time to climb. There are quite a few people on this board who usually take August off. I did last year but not this year!

Phil,

There are usually a pretty good crowd on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It gets going around 6:30 with the regulars.

Welcome to Louisville, I'm sure you'll find lots of folks to climb with.

Geoff-
Thanks, that was the kind of information I was hoping to get about the gym. I have climbed at a few gyms over the years and it usually comes down to finding out when the usuals come in and meeting them. thanks again for the beta.

Phil,

There's also a good climbing scene at Hesters in southern Louisville. It has more bouldering than sport climbing and is a bit smaller than Rocksport.

Hey Phil, I am also new to the area and am looking for a training partner to climb with on wednsdays, at rock quest. Sent me a PM if you are interested.

thanks for the advice and offers. i am pretty close to RockSport so i went and got a membership there the other day. i am planning on trying to get out there tuesdays and thursdays so if you see a new guy there with longer curly hair feel free to introduce yourself. and if anyone needs someone to go to the red with this weekend i am game for that.
