Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a trad climbing partner or that doesn't mind leading (I can clean up to a 5.9) and is patient (or a group that doesn't mind a tag-along
). I've been ill for a few weeks and need someone to lead so I can get my endurance and strength back up, so I can start leading again. It is for Sat. April 2, and Sunday April 3.
Feel free to pm me, and of course this is weather permitting.

Gyms, I don't believe in gyms...
To add trad climbing doesn't use the same muscles as sport climbing.

You don't believe in gyms? You should. I've seen them. They really do exist.
Just out of curiousity, what kind of muscles does trad climbing use?

they use the nebulezeus manimus mucus muscles, which most people tend to think of as skin on the back of hands.

they use the sphincter muscle..cause traddies always got something up their ass...
what snow puppy meant was that trad climbing doesn't use any muscles..he is looking for a way to spray to non-climbers (hey, I went trad climbing today) without actually putting in the work and effort.

Sport climbing is more technique, flexibility, and finess. Trad climbing requires more of the closed had jamming and upper body than sport does.

see snowpuppy, i think you're in the stage of denial. sport climbing is way more helpful for trad climbing than you think young grasshoppa. second, you believe you are a female.

Ho, you should know by now that the skills necessary for the various schools of climbing are mutually exclusive. That is why you should choose one discipline and stick to it. None of this jumping around bullshit. Just make up your mind and you'll finally see some progress in your skill level. I believe that this indecision on your part is why you have seen such a stagnation in your climbing these past few years. I would like to see you overcome this, and so I offer you this advice.
