I live south of Tucson, Arizona. Looking for people to train with down here. Been doing climbing for about a year now, have yet to lead. However, I do LOTS of bushwhacking and exploring. I also am doing hikes more regularly to build up my endurance for backcountry climbing. It's a bit old training by myself though. Would like to reach out and see who's down here south of Tucson.
Gotchya, I've been helping a friend set new routes (I follow / am a tourist) in southern Arizona. However, I tend to loose approximately 10 lbs each time we go out in the heat. Takes me several days to recover and LOTS of food. Probably not healthiest thing I've done in my life. Need to improve my hot weather endurance.
