I'm a visiting South African staying in Estes Park. I'd love to climb Pervertical Sanctuary or similar route on the Diamond while I'm here. I'm an experienced and safe alpine rock climber, am comfortable leading 5.11 and can move quickly on long routes and approaches. It'd be great to team up with a competent, safe and psyched partner.
I have rack and ropes and can make a plan with a car, although first prize is if I could get a lift from Estes.
I'm available any day from Tues 1 through to Fri 4 Sept. Weather looks particularly good on wed and thurs.
Contact me either by responding here, or by email to hector at rula dot co dot za, or by text to +2782815 four six one seven. Afraid my phone is not set to take calls in the U.S.

How much high altitude alpine climbing have you done?
I'd definitely be interest in climbing Pervertical(again)..but also am quite weary of climbing up on the Diamond with someone I've never climbed with. That shit is serious!

I've done a bunch of high altitude stuff: new moderate rock and mixed routes in the Ladakh Himalaya (5500m), N face of the Grandes Jorasses in Chamonix 4200m and Fitzroy in Patagonia via the affanasieff 3500m. Not altitude, but I've also freed half dome in a day (before it fell down!) and climbed the nose in a day. I've also done hundreds of trad routes longer than 350m in Southern Africa and elsewhere, up to about 5.12a. I think I'll be pretty comfy on the diamond.
I'd be psyched to team up tomorrow if you're keen. Let me know

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
