Hey folks. I'm attending school in Berlin this winter/spring and am hoping to connect with some outdoor minded folks. I know there isnt much for outdoor climbing in/around Berlin as far as I'm aware, but if anyone has info on good gyms/training or is interested in connecting, I'd love to meet some locals!

Additionally, I'll be traveling Europe through the summer and am looking to find some partners for alpine rock pursuits. Experienced endurance runner and alpine rock climber, competent leader (sport to 6b+/6c, trad to 6a+). I'll have personal gear but wont be hauling a rope/rack with me. I'm particularly interested in big days in alpine style, and am willing to go where the weather/climbing is good. Let me know if this is of interest and I'd love to get some trips brainstormed.

Cheers!

Try to connect with local Alpine Club (just Google DAV Berlin) they probably have a Jungmannschaft or similar "Youthteam" where you could find some connections..
Otherwise I'm sure there might be a Facebook group "Klettern Berlin" or so..
Also probably plenty of Bouldering and Climbing-gyms..

Cheers

Currently in Berlin, looking for some partners for March/April to get onto some ice or alpine terrain.
Bavaria/South Tyrol/Austria/Italy/Chamonix?

Hi James!
Welcome to Europe! I do sport climbing (6c/7a) and I have the same level of you are in trad.
I am planning to go for a week to Norway (last week of July) and looking for a partner.
Let me know, if you are interested. Also I am open to other suggestions.
Regards, Alona

@James, I live in Berlin and might be up for a trip over the next several months. Let's grab a beer or something. I work in Wedding and live in Wilmersdorf.

@Alona, I'm hoping to get to Norway this summer, depending on my schedule, July might work.

@Travis, I've lived in Berlin 2 years and still haven't made it down to the Frankenjura, but I really want to. I might PM you in the near future...
