Hey! I am searching for climbing friends. Me: former 5.10 top rope and lead climber who took a long hiatus from climbing. Now I'm basically starting over and I'm amazed how hard a 5.9 is these days. It will be some time before I feel like my old climbing self again. That said, belaying techniques never left me. I can belay top rope and lead and I am excited to get back into the scene, to encourage and be encouraged. I'm starting back in climbing just at gyms, for now. I'm buying a membership for Portland Rock Gym soon and wish to go a couple times a week.
