Bonjour y'all !

I am looking for a partner(s) to climb around El Potrero Chico around Nov 3rd to 10th. Was thinking of staying ~4-5 days.

A bit about me:
French-Guy, 25y, easy going.
Speaks: French, English, Spanish

6 months ago, I was bitten by the climbing bug after trying out a local climbing gym.
Since then I've been climbing hard, and very regularly so one day  i could take it to the outdoors.
Now I am just absolutely dying to get out there.

I have never sport climbed or multi-pitched outdoors, and figured El Potrero Chico would be the most amazing place to do both.
I plan to do tons of practice on shorter, easier routes for the first couple days, ease my way up to a multipitch class, with the goal to climb Excalibur before I leave.
If I feel at all like I’m in over my head, I’m happy to train more and come back another time.

Let me know if you would be interested in teaming up !

Ps: I climb up to 10d/11a in the gym.. but that means nothing when you go outdoors apparently... so I'm ready to be humbled haha

Hey, so far the plan Iis to fly out on the 1st or 2nd (depending if my buddy can get off of work early haha), land ~7pm and grab a shuttle to La Posada where we will be camping until ~7th.
