happy to buy you a beer if you give tips on efficiency! 

Hey I'm new to aid too, but I'm down to go if you're still looking for a partner. I've been looking at the SE overhang on the 2nd flatiron of that interests you

Training for the valley should be done at somewhere in Boulder canyon.  Castle rock is prefect, but lots of other great spots.  Flatirons is not a great choice.  Different rock.  Longer approaches.  Easier to possibly break rock.

100% agree. The Flatirons should be thought of as a free climbing area with potentially fragile rock so even trad routes like Five Year Plan could be altered. Castle is by far the best bet though being mindful of the possibility of breaking free or potentially free routes is important there as well. Clean aid only is the best practice there, and avoiding the use of hooks as well.

Hey Eli, Im looking for a partner to romp up the flat irons tomorrow afternoon or thursday afternoon. Not aid specifically, just looking to get out. Shoot me a text if interested, 6zero2-3two1-7857

Hey I'm also trying to get more aid practice in before a Yosemite trip. Aided the roof on Caste rock last weekend and I'm down to aid more stuff in Boulder Canyon this weekend.
