| Hi, I'm looking for some fun and safe partners to climb sport and/or trad in the general southwest area. Jtree, Bishop, Red Rocks, Yosemite... maybe Utah or Arizona? I guess wherever the weather forecast and partner situation looks good. I'm coming from San Diego, so any farther than Jtree and I'd like to carpool if possible.
I'm kinda out of shape at the moment, so I can probably only onsight up to .10+ sport or trad, but I'm perfectly willing to climb some easier stuff or try some harder stuff as well. I'll be on spring break from 3/29 to 4/6, but I'm not sure yet if I'll be available for the first few days of that.
Let me know if you might be interested. -Brandon |  |

| I can only assume, that you are the same Brandon that I climbed with in the Meadows last summer (Funky tree climb on one of the Whizz domes, Memo from Lloyd, etc.) If you head up to the Valley look me up. I am up there most weekends nowadays. I can take a monday or friday off also. Cheers Victor |  |

| Yeah Victor, same me. Good assumption considering that you took the photo of me to the left;) Do you remember the name of the route?
Sorry I didn't get a chance to meet up with you over New Years. I actually showed up the day you left Jtree and went to your campsite, but you were already gone.
I'll definitely let you know if I end up going to the Valley... it'd be great to climb with you again. -Brandon |  |

| Oh, I didn't even notice the photo, just used my amazing Shelock Holmsian powers of deduction with your name, age, first letter of last name, San Diego and such. I think that route was called "Thou shalt be done" or "Thou shalt grovel up a polished 5.9 tree" or "Though shalt dangle helplessly under the crux wishing you had read that chapter about prussiking more carefully" or something like that. In any case, I've gotten much better at crack climbing since then. I hope you come this way dude. Cheers
