I've done Maiden's Voyage, that was two years ago, but I'd love to go back and do it again. I've still got a good mental picture of the approach and route-finding.

What's the area code for your phone number? Or, just hit me up. (423) 463-5800

Just to clarify...I am looking to do the flakes, msv, top of tague, or something in the 11-12 range. If this is your level or can follow it, please reply.

I don't follow 5.12, I don't lead 5.11. Sorry, however, I am a very experienced alpine clImber who's devoted the last two years of my life to becoming as knowledgable and effective as a clImber. The clImbers I have surrounded myself with are incredibly strong. I have EXTENSIVE experience facilitating 5.12 multitouch sends. I'm calm, safe, encouraging and very fast. If I come to a section of climbing that would take me too long to free, I know every trick in the book or moving through it quickly. I'll be at the belay as quick as any other partner. Aside from that, I am quite the pack mule, if you're doing the hard leads, you can guarantee that your load on the approach will be half of mine. I insist on that out of principle.

Dude, I just love clImbing, and I try to bring contagious psych where ever I go, I treat my climbing partners like family, and I promise that if you would lIke to climb with someone in the Black on fri, and chose me, you wouldn't be disappointed.

I once asked TC what was the most important thing to look for in a climbing partner, and his answer was 'enthusiasm'. This kid has it, in spades.

Jay, if you don't climb with this cat on friday, you're a fool in my book.

I don't know about that, but Jay, my cell got smashed in my pack, so if you want to head there, just email me.

Otherwise, no big deal

Enthusiasm is definitly an important trait but it takes a lot more than enthusiasm to get up an 11/12 in the Black. "In my book" it would be foolish to get on any route in the Black with someone who isn't ready, and pulling on gear doesn't qualify as ready.
