Looking for Big Wall Experience.

Looking for someone who can help me to learn - Aid + Hauling + all other necessary skills for big walls.

I am looking someone who can utilize zion or yesomite wallls.

PM me and we can talk about the expectations from both side.

Thanks

The best way to get experience is to show up at the El Cap Bridge, make friends and offer to Hump Peoples Loads to the Base… 

This Wednesday.. 

I've already got him lined up for Wednesday.

As someone who did this last spring and ended up on a wall, I second this. 

I don't think I can do that quick Next Wednesday.

I could do sometime in - October somewhere either in valley or Zion.

But gotta have a Final plan since I will have to fly from Denver, CO.

Here's a pretty good starting point. Disclaimer, my website.

And, one article in particular:

Ya gotta pay dues. Experience comes from mistakes. Try to learn from OTHER people's.

How many shorter aid routes have you done? Get your technique down before enormously complicating things with a pig.

In Zion far too many people try to "learn" on classic walls. They end up wearing out the lowest pitches and getting in the way of those who know what they're doing.

Stay off the classics like Touchstone or Prodigal Sun or Moonlight or Space Shot or Sheer Lunacy.

Try clean aiding Masterblaster or Fracture Line or Blockbuster or Organasm or Cynthia's Handjob (further north than guidebook says- right facing corner).

Once you are far improved try Monkeyfinger if nobody is on it, or maybe the Ultimahedral on Catharsis in the Kolob.
