Need Partner for EPIC Shit

Well, my main climbing partner moved to Seattle so the hunt is on for a new climbing partner in the southeast. Basically, I need a partner to do epic climbing adventures.

A little about me:
Based out of Huntsville, AL
Couple FA's sprinkled throughout the southeast
Bigwall experience in Zion and Yosemite
Alpine experience in the Tetons and the Bugaboos
Best trad and sport single pitch redpoints-5.13 but projecting is really boring, if it doesn't go in a few tries, I typically move on
A/C2+, working on A3
I really want to get into ice this winter
5.12 Multipitch in NC (free as can be! Getting to the summit is always the goal)
oh ya, and safe if that matters for ya

Things that currently get me psyched:
Rediscovering forgotten classics
Whitesides headwall routes, North Face of Looking Glass
Spending the night on the wall
Adventure, finding crags that aren't super busy or popular

I'm gonna laugh, crack jokes, and generally goof off. I need a partner to get that and feed off the humor. Don't take things to seriously. I'm also going to debate anything technical, cause I'm an engineer and that is what we do. Being able to do last minute trips to NC is a plus also. But cragging is fun too. I'm available for 95% of the weekends and after work during the week if you are local.

If you see anything that sparks your interest or have any other additional questions shoot me a pm.

You left off the most important information, can I have all your gear if you die while we are on a climb?

So why are you living in Huntsville?

Eat buzzard crap, haters.

Young Ryan is a strong, motivated, legit young fellow with a long way to go.
Why live in Huntsville?
Because Alabama is the last bastion of traditionalism in the SE and is the cradle of the same.
There's also a good employment base for some of us.

This fellow will take it the distance.
Good luck, Ryan.
You know where I'll be.

If we are on something so epic that I die, and you manage to get out alive, then sure. You can have my gear.

Hi there. We have a lot in common, although I only climb .13 in my dreams. Rather than reciprocate with my resume, Here's my number 470 258 1985. Maybe we can meet up and get acquainted and come up some fall plans.

Well if you ever want to climb easier stuff in NC I am game but leading 5.9 trad is probably my limit. On sport I have lead up to 11+, boulder dozens of V5 so I could probably follow some harder trad if you are ever that in need of a partner.

Never done aid or slept on the side of the mountain but have had some long 15 hour days after 3 hours of sleep in yosemite and wouldn't mind climbing something that requires sleeping on the wall. Big things on my list are mt Whitney, zion, devil's tower.
