I moved out to NC almost a year ago and have found plenty of amazing cragging partners but almost no one interested in linkup challenges/volume days. I came from California and loved spending long days moving up walls and through alpine terrain. Though it seems you have to be more creative out here, there are still plenty of long day objectives I’d like to pursue. Specifically want to start putting in time on linkups like Linville Crusher/Destroyer and more contrived volume days like multiple routes on some of the multipitch in Western NC (LG, Laurel, Whiteside, Stone). I have a good bit of experience leading on gear (comfortable up to 12+) and can move fast on most things 11- and under. Also am open to simuling with the right partner, but would never ask it of anyone who isn’t excited about that.
