climbing trip of a lifetime!

I'm looking for a female climbing partner for the summer of 2014. I will be travelling in a camper van all over western Canada climbing at all the quality crags and mountains, including Squamish, Skaha, the Bugaboos, Lake Louise, and the Rockies (don't worry, I know where the good rock is out there!). Although an avid climber, I am also an entrepreneur with considerable business ventures to maintain, so I will need maximum free time to work online. That's where you come in! In return for me paying ALL and expenses (food, gas, propane, etc), you will handle the chores of day-to-day living, such as preparing dinner (I only eat one type of food, so it's easy), doing laundry, grocery shopping, washing dishes, filling up water bottles, etc. When we're not climbing, your job will be to save me time so I can work on my laptop. You save money, I save time, and we both become better climbers! As for the climbing itself, I know all the areas and can show you the classics. I can lead most routes up to 5.12 trad and 5.13 sport and I don't mind doing all the leading, or following you on your projects. I'm not a greedy climber or a grade chaser. I love to climb any fun route, whether it's 5.8 or 5.12. And I mostly climb in the 5.9-5.11 range for trad. Beyond that I may get scared :-) You should be able to follow up to 5.10+/5.11-, but we will be doing a lot of cragging in the early spring, so your skill level will rise in a hurry. The summer of 2014 I will only be climbing in Canada, but if our partnership works out, then I would also be open to replicating the arrangement on a big climbing tour in the States and possibly around the world. I have essentially unlimited funds and (almost) unlimited time to climb!

Ticklist for Canadian climbing in summer of 2014:
Squamish
Skaha
Lake Louise
Bugaboos
Gimli
Slesse
Bugaboos (Beckey-Chouinard, McTech Arete, Snowpatch Spire, Sunshine Crack)
Canmore (East End of Rundle, Echo Canyon, Grassi Lakes, etc)
Ghost River
Tantalus Range
Chehalis Range - maybe, but long approaches :-(
Lotus Flower Tower - maybe! would be amazingly fun

OK, my sister is seriously considering the offer but first we need to see:

1. A certified bank statement
2. Your official background check
3. Medical documents proving you're negative for all STD's

  • All documents must be notarized

HAHAHAHA This is awesome, how could any woman resist this trip of a lifetime??? How does having a woman fill your water bottles save you time and money?? I am hoping that whomever takes this chance of all chances can at least document the trip for us on MP.

If someone decides to go on this "trip of a lifetime..." I would advise you to let people know where you are going and check in regularly.

So youre saying you want a wife?

Hey be nice Jen, maybe he simply decided this would be a great place to find his climbing soul mate. I feel like women these days are always shutting down creepy online advancements from unknown men and never give fate a chance. Climbers want to date other climbers. This guy is clearly too shy to ask for a first date so what better way then to camp out in the "you are my climbing bitch slave" friend zone???

How could he not already have a girlfriend/wife to bring?
It just makes no sense with all that he has to offer!

I am definitely hoping it is real. What better way to announce your presence in the online debauchery that is the MP forums.

First post of the year award for sure.

allllrighty then,,,It's time for MP to have a serious 'travel companions', aka private invitations, personal ads, whatever you want to call it. For all legal and consenting age adults looking for "climbing partners" of the opposite sex for lengthy travel in your motor home, camper, double wide tent, whatever. Craigslist at MP! City by city, right here folks. Why not?

Search for a partner...
All fields are optional. The more fields you fill in, the fewer results you will find.

Gender Male Female Either


We already have a "partner search" on here...
