thanksgiving climbing partner for the red river gorge?

Hey there!

my name is James Cranston and I'm actually from the bay area of California. I'm trying to plan ahead because I REALLY want to go to the RRG over Thanksgiving break and project some routes (i'm mostly a sport climber). My friends are boulderers and trad climbers so it's hard to find people with similar goals in mind.

I project around 5.12b on sport and hope to really improve by the time I go to the Red over thanksgiving. I have a tent and probably plan on flying out since it seems to be pretty far from california, but would love to spend a full week climbing and it would be cool to go with someone who climbs around the same level and knows the area well to showcase good routes, places to camp, what to do on rest days, etc.

In terms of experience ... I work at my gym at school so I care about safety. I like to have fun and while I push myself to try harder routes I also want to be having fun. I have a full sport rack as well and 70m rope.

Shoot me a text if you want to connect at 914.364.6142, or email me at jcranston92@gmail.com and we can hopefully make some plans! I hope this works out!

best,
James
