Looking for a Fridays sport partner for Farley/Rumney (9/80 schedule)

I work a 9/80 schedule that gives me every-other Friday off work. Used to have a couple people that I could rotate through for climbing partners on those Fridays but this year they're all unavailable.

My off-Friday schedule is 6 May (this Friday), 20 May, 3 June, etc etc. Looking for someone who primarily climbs sport, I don't mind following on trad but it's not really my focus (and I'm not great at jams). I have projects in the 12a-12c range but on a general day I like to get a lot of volume in so I'll normally knock out a bunch of 10s/11s as well. Normally run up between 6-10 pitches in a day. Don't really care if you can climb as hard as me (or harder!), just as long as you're a safe belay and we can clean the route.

I'd prefer to do Farley most Fridays because it's closer (I live in Newton) and I drop my son off in the morning, but I don't mind an occasional trip to Rumney either. I can usually be at Farley by 9:30am, Rumney would be 10am, and would want to be heading home around 5-6pm.

I have a *lot* of knowledge of Farley, so if you've never been anywhere but the Wall Of Morning Light and Zen Garden, I can show you a lot more that's worth doing!

I have this Friday free until about 3. I work the dinner shift at work starting at 4. I'd be down to climb with you until then. I understand if 5 hours isn't worth the drive, but let me know!

That's not terrible, as long as we move pretty quick on things. Forecast for this particular Friday is currently not looking great but I'll keep an eye out.

If you want to climb Fridays let me know. 518-258-8686. I'm down for mileage or working harder stuff all day.

Hey thanks for the responses (including those who PM'd me), I'll reach out to some folks for my next off Friday on the 20th.
