Looking for Yosemite Partner/Big Wall Mentor in October

Hey there,
   I am on an extended road trip across the country and am hoping to spend as much time as possible in Yosemite beginning in early October (basically as long as the weather allows). I am a confident 5.10 trad leader with a bunch of Gunks experience (single and multipitch on varied terrain). However I have zero experience with big walls. I am super keen and generally a quick learner.

I have a single rack and rope, which I already know is not nearly enough to get into big wall stuff, but am happy to pool.

If there is anyone who is looking for a partner in October (particular someone with ambitious goals...) I am super down to follow/haul/jumar and generally tag along.
Let me know!

Yo scotty, I will be in yoemite for october as well and am hoping to get on some big walls too. I haven't done anything bigger then 15 pitches and know very little bit about aiding. But if your willing to cut your teeth with me, we can figure it out. Hit me up anytime if your intersted 3609534507.

Do it guys. It just takes attitude to get up your first routes. :)

Scotty and Kevin, I'm in the same boat.  I also frequent the Gunks but will be in Yosemite most of Oct.  I just got my big wall order from Black Diamond.  I have a portaledge, haul bags and a bit of aid gear to go with my trad gear.  I'm in Zions this week, but after that am headed to the Valley.  I'll give you guys a call, but feel free to drop me a line at 917-400-1842. Erik

Scotty, what's a good number for you?

I’ve been on a wall in Zion and am super stoked to get on some entry walls in the valley, I have a ledge and a lot of gear. Send me a text 832-444-6825
