Traveling alone in August/September, best places to climb?

I’m blessed with 6 weeks off of work between August and September and am looking to do some traveling, I am from the US and would love to go to Europe. I am particularly interested in getting up into the alps or doing some climbing in Norway. I would be traveling alone though and want to go to a place where I can find partners, or does anyone have any recommendations for finding partners when going to Europe alone?
Thanks in advanced:)

Relevant additional details: what kind of climbing do you prefer (sport/multipitch/alpine/etc), and at what grades. Also, will your budget allow renting a car, or do you need to get around by transit?

I prefer trad climbing and have alpine climbing experience, and would be interested in getting into the alpine with an experienced partner. Trad climbing I’m comfortable leading in the .9-.10 range US grades. I’ve never been to Europe and am unfamiliar with transit in the various regions, so my instinct is to rent a car, but my budget will be fairly minimal so if it is possible to avoid this I would prefer public transit.

Chamonix could work for you. It is a total scene, and highly developed/crowded, but for your needs that is good. Lots of travelling climbers to partner up with, and a wide range of climbing (big alpine objectives, multipitch rock, cragging, bouldering) accessible by transit. Plenty to keep you busy for an entire season (or 10 seasons). Not neccesarily a cheap place to be, but you'd save the money on car rental. Even if you weren't spending most of the season there, it could still be a sensible starting point, as a place to meet other climbers (with cars) with whom to travel elsewhere in the Alps.

If for reasons of cost/timing/etc you can't make it work to go to Europe, a good North America backup plan would be Squamish. Tons of good trad climbing in your desired grade range, tons of travelling climbers to partner with, and pretty easy to get by there without a car. Also a good starting point to meet partners with whom to travel out elsewhere in BC for alpine rock objectives.

Norway is tough to meet partners (but Lofotens are astonishingly beautiful-a truly unique place on earth).
  Consider Bohuslan in Sweden. Lots of climbers there, esp from Norway! Great climbers campground (about $2 per night to camp, I think)
I am hoping to have a bunch of my climbing buddies get together there this summer, probably July or August and if we do, you are welcome to join us.
Cham is a great destination and very good climbers' campground
Might want to look at Ailefroide. Up 700 climbers camping there at busy times. Gorgeous views, great climbs. Bolted routes, even the cracks!
Northern Spain could work but you should try to line up partners ahead of time. Siurana, Margalef, Montserrat, many. Temps should be OK even in Aug and Sept but you might have to climb early and late in the day
Possibly also Finale Ligure but might be hot. Lots of the climbs are shaded. Easy to find partners.
None of these are real alpine except Cham and Ailefroide, just options for you considering your grades, weather, ease of finding partners

The Dolomites, for sure!.  Two/three hours from Venice to Cortina.  You could find partners in the Cinque Torri area and branch out from there. You can hire a guide for more difficult routes, but I’ll bet you will find people (either while there or on this and other web sites), and you can scramble/solo around by yourself with plenty of easy to moderate options for the 5.9/10 leader.  Also, some of the most spectacular via Ferrata’s with easy access - long or short.  Rent a car, reasonable rates in Venice.  Spend the extra money for a remarkable trip. You’ll be happy you did.   Best place ever!

This is all extremely helpful!! Thank you all so much!!!

Yep, 3 weeks in Chamonix/Argentiere followed by 3 weeks in Cortina/Canazei.  Sounds like a very memorable trip.  Rent a car and take a small tent to save money and meet climbers.  You don't even have to cook if you don't want to.  If the weather turns bad in the Dolomites go down to Arco.  Plenty of what you're looking for there also.
