Looking for consistent trad partner

I figure I'll go with the theme of recent partner postings. Looking for someone to climb with consistently, preferably trad in the 5.8-10 range. I've lead a couple 5.10's, feel much more comfortable on 8 and 9 though although I'd like to change that. Looking to regularly get out around Boulder, Estes Park, and South Platte. Looking to get out at least once a week. My wife doesn't really like to push it, and everyone else I've climbed with since moving here lives too far away or has other obligations. Right now my work schedule is roughly every other weekend for 4 days straight and then a lot of time off in-between. A lot of the people I've met seem to talk a big game, or have a debilitating fear of heights, etc. Just looking for some consistency lol.

Hey Nick,

I'm moving to Eldo 4/1. I've mostly climbed sport but with the move to Eldo and all, it seems like I have to embrace the widgets. Anyways, I've climbed alpine and a fair bit of trad, up to about .9. If you want to get out let me know. I mainly work a 9-5 but it's pretty flexible.

Pretty sure I've replied to everyone, if not please try again! Thanks for all the messages, nothing sucks as bad as wasting a great day because you can't find anyone to climb with!

Hey Nick,
Im game. I feel you on the significant other. I have a few guys I like to call up but it doesn't hurt to have another. I work four days a week so as to keep three days for fun (life is way to short for this bullshit and I intend on living). Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays off. Prepping the garden for the season all week but would be down for this Sunday if you were around. I push into 11's trad but that's my "project". There are plenty of committing trad 10's to have fun with. Im a snob when it comes to "style" and by that I mean how we tie in, communicate, carry gear etc. but it sounds like youre pretty sharp as well. let me know about Sunday.
Cheers,
Jon S.
