I have climbed at the gym (5.8) and top roped. No experience with traditional climbing or aid climbing but would love to get to that level. Ready to partner up with both new and experienced climbers. If you are new to climbing, we can learn together. If you are experienced, I'll belay or be your second in exchange for the opportunity to learn. Short Term Climbing Goals: 1. Partner up and climb regularly 2. Learn Trad Climbing 3. Learn to Aid Climb.

I am an Intensive Care Unit, Registered Nurse and have an irregular work schedule. I am available both weekdays and weekends depending on the week. I can easily arrange time off for trips.

Driving to Tahquitz or Joshua Tree is no problem for me. Planing trips farther away is easily accomplished with advance planning. Looking forward to meeting new people of all skill sets with the goal of climbing regularly, learning, and having a good time.
