More information:
Hi. I'm an experienced climber in several genres. Currently having just finished school and lacking partners since my move to AZ, I can't pull very hard or move very fast for now. In the past I've lead trad 5.9s at Josh, Idyllwild, Lover's Leap, & Cardinal Pinnacle; 10s at any sport area and up through 11a/b a few times; WI4+ in Colorado and Alberta; and A3+ in Yos. Climbed lightly in Alaska and Peru. But hand injury, grad school, and loss of partners has limited my chances to get out there, so at this moment I have almost none of my athletic ability and lead head. In AZ, I notice the grades can be stiff (like McDowells), so I don't want to exaggerate where my mind and body are at. I do love rope guns nowdays, I won't lie.
There are only a few 5.8 trad pitches I would lead today, and they're in Cali. I'll lead up to one of the 5.9s at Pond. I can follow well a few of the 10cs there, but can't pull the really overhung climbs. If you like to climb easy I can lead and make a day; or if you like to lead hard, I'm thrilled to TR/follow stuff and belay you on whatever.
I am technically expert and a very reliable safe partner. I do not mind at all belaying on climbs I can't follow. I've caught many falls. I've jumared on multi-pitch to make the route happen when the cruxes were too much.
I'm a wilderness first responder and competent enough rope soloist that I haven't killed myself solo rope leading on big walls and a multi-pitch ice route. I've been on 10 big walls, led on 9. I've rapped El Cap from Thanksgiving Ledge with an 85-lb load (an interesting way to descend, but I'll stick to the East Ledges next time, thanks). I am very capable of self rescue (and I have done it) and could rig up partner rescue if need be (hopefully never).
I've just finished school and my schedule at my new job wildly varies. I often have weekdays free.
To do list includes Mt Lemmon, Granite Mtn, Jacks. I haven't been to these areas yet. I like Cochise Stronghold and have climbed around Phx and at Iso, Peaks, w. Elden, & Overlook so far.
Thanks for reading and have a great time out there!
