Colorado Springs partners

While others types are better than others- like Wind gate vs Lyons- the sandstones here is awesome, unique and climb worthy IMHO. Berta, enjoy the Gardens and Red Rock. I might be able to join, hit me up closer to the date! Tim- how are ya!? Its been awhile.... maybe we should get beer night going again...??

While I personally really enjoy the unique climbing and beautiful setting that the garden offers it certainly doesn't appeal to everyone. I think what stitch and S.Stelli are saying is that if you're only going to be here for a few days and want full value then making the drive up to Eldo (or elsewhere) is definitely the way to go.

That being said the Garden is definitely worth checking out if you have to stay local Berta. If you do head to the Garden and slabs are not your thing then try climbing on the East side of Kindergarten rock where it's more vertical and the stone is much more solid. New Era mountainproject.com/v/new-e… is an excellent 2 pitch trad line, as is Bob's But crack mountainproject.com/v/bobs-… 1 pitch. There are also some good sporty lines nearby as well as some classics worth checking out on the other softer formation within the park - montezuma tower is definitely worth doing for the exposure and views provided mountainproject.com/v/north…. Have fun wherever you go!

--whats up with my links getting chopped? ok there we go...forum link fail on my part.

Doing pretty good. How about you?

Yes, let us instigate a beer night soon. Friday nights work best for me.

Some of you people looking for partners, see if you can help out these international and interstate visiting climbers while you are at it. Maybe we can all do a group outing.

Anyone want to climb this afternoon or tomorrow? Show me around town? Sport or trad. Please be a safe climber. :)

I am looking to climb. Will be free around noon. Cheyenne Canyon and/or Red Rocks. Shoot me a text...I'm safe. :) 729-896-0909

Shane, texts have been sent.

Your right... sorry . The area code is 719, not 729. Sent u a text...my bad.

If you guys are available let me know. My clients and kids make my schedule, but love to get out during the week when it's not crowded.

Hey Shane,
My name is Michael and i'm a 19 year old student at UCCS. I just got out of school and i only work a few weekday nights and weekends, so if my age doesn't freak you out let me know if you'd like to get out! I'll always have tuesday and thursdays off completely, and the other days i don't work until either four or five. Honestly i haven't been able to get out much at all this past school year, but i'm a very safe partner and not one to do stupid stuff. Right now because i've taken so much time off i'm only leading easy five ten sport and five eight trad, but i can follow harder and i love to learn, especially trad which i've only been doing for about a year but is definitely my favorite. Anyways, just let me know if you're interested

Figured I would just bring this thread back instead of starting another one.

Looking for a lead climbing partner at City Rock, weekday evenings late-ish.

I'm your Huckleberry
We met at the gym recently - though we didn't climb anything together

sent you a PM

Looking for folks to climb on the weekends. Turkey, South Platte, 11 Mile, whatever now that it's cooling down a little.

Also evenings in town. I'm a teacher and done with school by 3 p.m. Garden, Cheyenne, Red Rock, or at the gym.

I generally climb in the 5.10 range on gear, 5.11 sport.
