Hey guys,

I am an 18 year old kid from colorado and i have an unfortunate ankle strain from a frisbee game. Even worse news is that all my climbing partners are leaving for the summer. It has been my dream to climb a big wall and I would love to climb as many as I can in the not so distant future.

I have been training for this for a while. My ankle will be fine by the middle of the summer and I can't think of anything better to do with my summer before I enter to college besides climb my first wall.

I am looking for very experienced yosemite climbers that I can climb some free routes with before we head out on the wall. I have my own portaledge, which I have been drooling over and can't wait to use it. I also have my own rack of cams, ascendors and aiders, and a huge haul bag. I am a beast and can help haul and I am great with systems and anchors. I will bring a positive attitude to your group and I am generally a pretty funny person. I know a great deal about big walls and I plan on learning even more.

Thank you for your consideration. If I don't seem like to much of a nusence then you can email me at mtoensing2002@yahoo.com.
