need advice for finding partners

Along with the yummy snacks, don't forget to bring some weed too. After climbing, while coiling the rope, putting your things in your pack, spark up a bowl. 9.8 times outta 10 you'll get some takers.

That's fair. I'm still really new to climbing(4 months or so) and I see a different side. Sure, I could race up a dozen 5.7s in one day, be tired and feel great. But, right now I am more focused on learning the techniques.

Is it common for people to be accepting of someone like me, who can take an hour for a single 10a/b pitch and fall a number of times? Or are most likely to get agitated?

I know everyone is different, but I've only climbed with one person and there is usually wind-up/down time before each pitch.

2nd on the weed.

Thank for pacience and sorry for resurecting the thread. I noticed the date only after I replied.
Eliot: my partner explained himself by saying that she is better climber than me and climbs just same paths as he does 11b/c. And apparently, I can't say for everyone, but for climbers it is interesting to be with the same level climbers.
Me personally, I don't care what you are climbing. This way everybody can learn from each other.
Thanks for advised. Definitely will take them into cosideretion. As a new climber I'm not into sport climbed ng right now. And not a big expert in lead either. But working on it.

Invest in a big backpack. Don't just show up at the crag with a "girlfriend" daypack (big enough to only hold chalkbag/shoes/harness/water) - this applies to guys too.
