Does anybody need a partner next week (9/4-9/8)? I'm gonna be down visiting my folks outside of Asheville, would be happy to get on just about anything in the area. I have a rack and 70 meter rope to contribute. I give a very attentive belay and am comfortable following and cleaning up to 5.9-5.10 trad. I'm not a super experienced leader and haven't climbed in WNC before, so ideally looking for someone who wants a belay sidekick/second for the day (also down to boulder). Happy to drive and buy lunch/dinner/beers!
Just for context, I grew up in Asheville and am considering a move back to the area. I've been living in Brooklyn NY and started climbing at the Gunks about a year ago. I got the bug real bad and now and thinking seriously about moving out the city to be able to climb more. Would love to get a feel for the western NC style and scene.
