I live in kingman az, I moved out here from pa. I have been climbing for at least 10 years (gunks,n.j,pa ect) but since my move 3 years ago ( leaving my climbing partner, my brother) I haven't been on a rope! I can lead 5.9 -5.10, follow 5.10+ when i get the feel back.
Looking to get back into this sport! Also i am into high pointing .

Hello JMIN1971,

What is "highpointing"?

Do you ever get up Red Rock way?

Tom,

Highpointing refers to bagging the highest point in each of the 50 states. Most are non-events (Iowa, Florida etc.) but a relative few are difficult and some are downright grueling, especially Denali.

Where I come from, highpointing is when a snowmobiler (sled-neck not red-neck) rods their snowmobile as high as possible and often dies in the endeavor.

I think you mean "highmarking" in regards to snowmobiles. And your comment about the frequency is similarly accurate to saying people often die when they rock climb.
