Gender doesn't matter, but friendly attitude does. Please see my original Partners post:

Thanks!

Brigette

What are the Tucson climbing dudes...a bunch of wallflowers?

Brigette, I'd go but am playing in Tonto Creek this weekend. Some lame folks out there not responding to you. Have fun at Jacks this weekend.

Shawn: Lol. Totally! What's a *single* girl gotta do to get a guy to climb with her. ;)

Bill: Thanks! And, thanks for your comment about the girls - I think they're pretty darn adorable, too.

Brigette, I'll let you know on Thurs. morning if I can get down there and climb. I have a trip planned for Yosemite, but am not feeling like I want to aid climb for 4 days. If you need any references about my friendly atitude feel free to contact Jay Knower site administator for a section in the east and mid west. We can talk details if I can commit.

Matt is a nice guy, but he does have commitment issues.....just to let you know....

Exactly the reason I didn't use Ron as a refference.

Just another example of a recent topic. Not enough women climbers that actually want to climb and men... well they come with a stack of their own issues.

Oooh so hard to sometimes find a partner. Interesting read on SuperTopo although it will likely give you nothing more than "been there, done that" for advice.

Good luck,
Susan

Susan:

That supertopo thread is quite funny. I guess everyone has baggage of some sort. Thanks for the laugh!

I will likely be staying local this weekend as I just returned from Horseshoe Canyon Ranch in Arkansas. That said you are welcome to join me and a loose crew of local climbers any time. The more the merrier...

Good luck. The only person I knew that lived in AZ moved back to Colorado.

To be fair..... if you get Matt to the crag your golden (well, keep him away from your tent fly). Its the challenge of getting him there that I am talking about.

Ron: Thanks for the cautionary note, but I don't even own a tent, so I'm all good, right?

Matt: Keep me posted.

Hendrixson: Thanks for the offer, but I've been climbing at Lemmon or Cochise 9 out of 10 weekends all winter/spring. Must. Leave. Town.

Can I get a raincheck?

Should be....

Brigette,

Matt's not sketchy at all. He and I climbed the Steck-Salathe route in Yosemite a number of years back, and I would consider that one of my most fun climbing days. He's a great partner.

Thanks, Jay.

Hey wait a sec... everyone's vouching for people left and right here but does anyone know this Brigette character? ..could be a flesh eating zombie for all we know! We lose more climbers that way...

Paging Jon Ruland.

Brigette;
I was thinking of going up to Jacks this weekend, and I do not have a partner. Have you already settled in on someone?

I would also want to meet up with Joe and Mike at Windslow wall, if you were at all interested.
