I am doing a road trip through Colorado's best climbing areas.
I have made this trip for several summers but this time I am not going with a group, it will just be me.
I'm realistic (I am bringing my crash pad) but I would love to climb with some people in the area that have similar interests!
I plan on spending most of my time climbing and camping
I offer a very safe, attentive belay with a grigri-
I have a 70m rope, harness, shoes, crashpad and a small rack.
I have climbed in Rifle, Boulder Canyon, Clear Creek. I would love to see more areas like Garden of the Gods, Eldo, flatirons, Morrison, Horsetooth or any other rock area along the way.
I love climbing and craft beer. :)

I'm free Thursday July 5th during the day. I'm supposed to be on a road trip the rest of the week. I'm located in Colorado Springs, so will be happy to leave this place for any reason.

With luck Garden of the Gods will be open when you get here and I can certainly give you the grand tour. Otherwise we could do Devil's Head or something nearby.

I can probably set you up with other partners too that aren't working during the week.

I would be up for climbing at lumpy ridge or eldorado on the weekends during the first two weeks of july. I could also climb a veduawoo during the week after one. I your still in need of climbing partners shoot me an email at shokett@rams.colostate.edu

Just moved to the area, and for the moment have no demands on my time. I'm in the Boulder area, let me know if you still need partners!

I'm looking for a partner for Monday the 2nd for most of the day (have to be at work at 5:30).

That leaves plenty of time to get on Culp-Bossier :D Did you have any routes in mind?

I an open to adventure climbing. I have done quite a few multipitch routes
Sedona (Mace, Scenic Cruise, Dr Rubios)
Cochise (Peacemaker, Mad cow)
Taquitz (whodunit)
Red Rocks (epinephrine+walk off, solar slab+ walk off, olive oil+wo, dream of wild turkeys, and a few more in Black Velvet Canyon)
I'm pretty new to placing gear but I'm very comfortable seconding/belaying on multipitch routes. I'd prefer routes with bolted anchors if I'm with new a partner but it just depends on my comfort level with the person.
Side note: I love hiking Longs Peak and I have dreamed of doing the Diamond- but I know the weather can be tricky up there)
I'll plan to stay in Rifle a few nights on my way in and out 6/4-5 and 6/13-15. I do okay at the moderate stuff there but I'm not very strong at overhung routes- (great for soft catches though)
I will be near Boulder aprox 6/7- I was considering camping but with the fires I may take people up on offers from couchsurfing.com. I've climbed in Boulder Canyon and Clear Creek but I'm not as familiar with the climbing there- I'm open to suggestions.

Sounds good. Shoot me a message if you'd like to climb around Boulder, or crash our guest bed.

I'd take Tim up on the climbing and guest bed offer (I have! Thanks again Tim) but don't feed him any gluten products for both of your sakes.

Hahahh, thanks Marat. It's as he says, no poison (gluten) please.

Tim- thanks for the welcoming offer! Does anyone know if the rain starts in the afternoons or all day? Will you guys be climbing this weekend? Bummer -well I know rain was needed.
Jason- that's still when I plan to be in Rifle
If you see me please come say hi!

My schedule got flipped. I will have 7/11 and 7/12 off and would like to go to Rifle. As of right now I don't have a partner but I am still waiting to hear back from some folks. Let me know if you want to climb.

The rain we've had the past few days in Rifle has started in the afternoon, between 3 and 4-ish. It was beautiful out there each day before it rained.
