Aid Climbing Partner/Mentor Looking Glass

Recently broke a metacarpal and am currently in a short arm cast, I am itching to get out once again. I get out of my cast in 1 week and should be clear to load the hand in 4 weeks (after July 14th), with full strength in 6. I do not intend to trivialize Aid climbing, I am hoping it is a version of climbing where I can limit the forces through that hand. I would love to make lemonade out of the situation and increase my knowledge of traveling in the vertical world. 

I climb trad in the 10+, 11 range and love to learn. I would love to get comfortable on lead in the A1/C2 range and am happy to follow and patiently belay if I can learn a thing or two.

Thanks!

Hi, I am definitely still learning, but I'd gladly teach you what I know if it means I can practice some aid. 

Into it! I have a double set of cams, nuts and ballnuts to add to an outing and 70,65,60,55M ropes. I'd love to try the swing on the top of invisible airwaves P3, those go at A2+. Open to anything though.

Hey! How's your recovery going? Message me if you're still interested in trying some aid on the N side of Looking Glass. 919-805-6118

Hey Cat, Looks like I was a bit ambitious. still can't make a fist, so looks like i'm not climbing until mid august

Hey Cat.  Any chance you have extra aid climbing gear on you by any chance?  I'm interested in joining but I left all my aid gear in CA.

Hey David, I'm happy to share my gear. I can send you a pic of what I have. Do you have specific routes in mind?

I'm up for anything.  I'm new to the area so I don't have a to do list out here yet.

Hello - I'm also new to the area and looking for climbing partners.  I would love to learn some aid.  I have plenty of gear including rack, ropes, aiders, etc.  -Brian

Hey, Hand is finally strong enough to confidently handle safety equipment. I would love to get out and play on some Aid gear. Who wants to get out there?

Is anyone available Oct 3rd? Still thinking Looking Glass?

Cat and others,

I am available Oct 3rd weekend.  

-Brian

Anyone interested in getting on glass menagerie this Sunday?
