A lot has happened in the last few years that has caused me to put climbing on the back burner. Moving, marriage, 2 busy kids, work, 2 of my main partners moving and a climbing injury that kept me off my feet for 6 months that never completely healed. Lookng to hook up with someone in my area to get out with on a regular bases. I’m not completely off my game but it’ll take me a while to get back to where I was at. Im currently leading 8’s sport 6 and the occasional 7 on gear. I was closer to 10’s when I was climbing often. I prefer multi pitch routes and I love Yonah, Linville, Cedars but open to climbing sport at Sandrock, Leda or Fosters. Ive got a full rack. Any climbers just starting out I’d be happy to show you some stuff I know as long as you are a solid experienced belayer. I’m also a stone summit member so I’m open to gym climbing which might not be a bad idea until things dry up. I’m self employed so weekday climbs are usually good with me but I’ll also do weekends

Jon,

I hardly climb any more either,
I am based half an hour from you and will try to keep you in mind when I get out.

I’m super safety minded, and have climbed with Mark.

Hey Jon, this is Shannon. Has our paths crossed in an earlier life?

Hey Jon! I’d love to go outside on regular basis.  I’ve been going pretty often lately, but I need someone who can go constantly.  I’m in Atlanta, but I would need a ride to wherever we go.  I’m mainly lead, but I’m hoping to get on some Trad as well.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
