ISO Big Wall / Aid Climbing Partner(s) in SoCal

Looking to connect with other climbers in the Southern California / Los Angeles area who are interested in aid climbing and big wall objectives.

I'm relatively new to aid climbing and haven't done a big wall yet, but I recently took a big wall 2-day clinic and learned the fundamentals (hauling, ascending, lower-outs, systems, etc.). Now I'm looking for people who are interested in practicing, building efficiency, and working toward objectives together.

My background is primarily trad climbing and multipitch. I climb regularly, am safety-minded, and generally enjoy the process of learning and building skills. I'm not in a rush to get on El Cap tomorrow, but I do find that having a goal and partners to work toward it with helps keep me motivated.

I'm interested in:

- Aid practice days
- System practice (hauling, jugging, anchor transitions, etc.)
- Meeting other aspiring wall climbers
- Potentially building toward bigger objectives over the next year or two

If you're also looking to get into walls, are already experienced and don't mind mentoring a bit or just want more partners in SoCal, feel free to reach out :) TY!

I can vouch for Audrey as a creative and stoked climber. She pulled out some big wall tricks on a climb we did together. She also was able to climb with 3 randos and manage to have a great time with everyone.

I know, just poking a bit. I will be helping her out ...

Have you tracked anyone down? I have a somewhat interest in aid for routes which have one or 2 aid pitches thrown in. I am also trying to get over elbow issues so had to bump the regular climbing back a little so could go work on aid techniques. Not much existing aid experience but a decent amount of gear.

I’m moving to Riverside in August and may be interested.

Hey Audrey,

I'm in the LA area and looking for partners to train for or do some big walls. Shoot me a message if still looking.
