sport climbing partners (bay area/northern california)

hey mountain project!

my name is James Cranston and I'm from the (south) bay area. I'm looking for long-term sport climbing partners. I train indoors during the week and this summer am trying to go outside as much as possible. In particular, if you're interested in projecting at Columns of the Giants or at Gold Wall, let me know! When the winter months come around, I'm going to try to head to Jailhouse as well.

A lot of my friends are traditional climbers (while I have climbed and led on gear, and understand the appeal, especially with yosemite nearby, I much prefer projecting hard sport routes). I would really like to find climbing partners with similar goals for repeated sessions outdoors at some of northern california's sport crags.

(similarly, I also train bouldering, lead climbing indoors, hang board, and campus board, and am interested in different approaches to training for difficult grades. if this is you and you want to connect about training regimens, definitely let me know! when I'm training indoors it's usually at PG in Sunnyvale).

finally, I'm looking to go up to Columns this weekend (7/11 or 7/12) and possibly other weekends this summer to try out some routes. If you've been to this crag or know any beta or want to tag along, please let me know, since I'm looking for partners!

I look forward to hearing from you! (feel free to also shoot me a text at 914.364.6142)
