Elko, NV partner

Recently moved to Elko for work and I'm looking for people to climb with at nearby crags. I'm also looking for any beta about nearby areas. I like sport up to easy 5.10s and also bouldering. I haven't ever tried trad climbing but I'd be down to follow.

Thanks!

I will be working in Wells NV next week, and would be down to try some of these crags. I don't know anything about local spots, but I would totally be down to check some out. Trad/sport/boulder... it'd be fun to try something. Let me know via PM if you're available next week

What are the nearby crags??

I've heard tale of a few tiny crags around Elko and then there is a larger hard sport limestone area slightly east of Wells called the Pequops. Additionally, south of Elko is Lamoille Canyon in the Ruby Mountains which is the only place I have actually been to and I have definitely found some bolted routes around although I have no legitimate beta on any of the climbs there or at any of the other crags. There is an old guide to Lamoille Canyon but I have not been able to locate a copy. The Pequops are apparently in the guidebook "Islands in the Sky" but it's also impossible to find.

Yes, I've heard of Lamoille Canyon, and seen discussion here on MP: https://www.mountainproject.com/forum/topic/107500528/elko-nevada-climbing. Never been there myself. 

I will be working in the Pequop Mountains all year, so I would interested in finding where these routes are. Found this thread (https://www.mountainproject.com/forum/topic/107159903/pequop-summit-nevada-limestone-this-weekend). Chatting with some folks a month ago at ORG, I was told that a lot (relatively) of the limestone rock in eastern Nevada has been partially developed and a lot more exists for FAs.

Anyway, if you, or anyone, is around this weekend, the weather looks decent and I would be down to at least try those spots above in the Pequops. Could be a good adventure.

Pilot peak gets done semi-regularly. 

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the granite cliffs I've looked longingly while driving past Oasis. Not sure they even have a name
