Hi all,

I'll be living 10 miles outside of the West gate of Yosemite for the summer and am looking for people to climb with. I've been climbing for a few years, but am pretty inexperienced with trad and crack climbing specifically.

I have a rope and a standard trad rack to contribute, and don't mind doing a lot of following. I really just want to get out there and gain experience.

PM sent

Careful Patrick about the offer of showers and beds to the dirtbags of the Valley! They won't ever leave!

I'll rope gun for you for a shower! I'll be in Yosemite all summer.

Thanks for all the PMs guys. I'm still looking for more people.

I just decided to get minor surgery for ingrown toenails so I'll probably be recovering for the next month and hopefully be up in Yosemite in late May.

Ryan - You're probably right but if I'm to someday become one of those dirtbags I figured I'd sweeten the deal.

Jack - Sounds good and I'll let you know when I'm up there.

Personally I find Camp 4 to be a wonderful place to meet people. I've made several lasting friendships/climbing partnerships that started there. Even gained a good friend from the Camp 4 message board.

Of course Colin would say that...he's so dreamy...

Patrick, I might have some mid-week trips over the summer and would be psyched to climb with you. I'll give you a shout when I know more.
