Seems neat to me. I do the same quite a lot. I would advertise it possibly same as this guy but I don't seem to have a dearth of people already asking me to teach them stuff.

Meh, your post is more creepy than the OP.

Plus, it’s Colo Springs, so it’s cool.

Well I’ve had people reach out and we got some good trad practice in. Just a genuine offer to do for others what people did for me

Not creepy at all, and if I lived closer I'd take you up on it in a heartbeat. Sounds like somebody got too many stranger danger talks as a kid.

Hey Jon what’s up? I’m Haven from alabama and will be up in Colorado for a few days. Always wanted to do a multi pitch. I’ll be able to climb in from the 31st-5th and will be staying in Arvada. Lemme know if that works for you and you wanna climb

What a weird sentiment a few of you have… Jon is a good guy just trying to help people access the sport. What’s wrong with that? I climbed with him in South Platte early July actually. The information crammed into the half day was extensive and the emphasis on safety was paramount. I’d highly recommend taking him up on this offer if you’re interested in expanding your climbing as a beginner. Was just a good day out of learning and climbing.

My main partner these days, a woman in her mid-40s who’s been climbing for 15+ years and has a ton of experience in the alpine, just randomly said to me a couple days ago, “I kinda wanna pass on some climbing knowledge to newer climbers.” I’ve known her for a few years and she hasn’t creeped on me!
