I'll be in/around Puerto Rico with open schedule and really want to climb as much as I can. I'll be traveling with gear. I'm capable of climbing 5.10s/6s but happy to belay you while you climber harder. I'll also be interested in seeing the islands, zip lining, surfing, biking, etc.

Hey I'm working in Puerto Rico! I live outside of a suburb of Ponce and would love to have another climbing partner

Awesome man. Would be great to meet up and climb. What are your favorite places to climb on the island?

I haven't climbed here yet but just brought my rope and some gear down after a trip back home. I want to check out Cerro las Tetas by Cayey because it's closest to me and (at least from what Mountain Project lists) it has the easiest routes for the person/people who would come with while still offering some climbs for me. There's also supposedly a wall at the Olympic Training center I would like to check out. I believe it's by Salinas.

It would be awesome to have a 2nd person who is experienced with lead (belay). I'm willing to drive to other climbing spots too. We sometimes work by Maricao so I was thinking of checking out Rosario Penon

Let's do it Tim! I'll fly into San Juan on the 19th, and figure I'll rent a car or motorbike to get around as I hear that is the best way to be able to travel around the island. I heard there was some really nice climbing right outside of San Juan and mountain project says so too in the Bayamon area, but I'm keen to explore as much as I can.

Awesome! I'll send you my number so that we can communicate that way. I don't have service at our house and have limited service at only a few of our work sites but I can text over the WiFi at our house when it works and I have service on the main roads. There's a chance we'll be going climbing at Rosario Penon after work on the 20th if you'd like to join.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
