Boston aid partners

Hey, I'm looking for a Boston-based aid partner/mentor. See my post in Eastern States.

Nothing wrong with finding a mentor, but if you don't have much luck (who really wants to belay for hours on end?) learn how to rope solo and practice on your own. If you have a solid understanding of placing gear it's reasonable to teach yourself most of what you need know to climb a big wall.

FYI, I've got a copy of Jared Ogden's Big Wall Climbing Book sitting around if you're interested and I'm in the Boston area.

I'd be happy to read Ogden's book, thanks. pm'ed to coordinate picking it up.

And by "mentor", I didn't mean someone would have to belay me endlessly. I'd probably learn plenty following a few climbs. Or, I'll lead the C1 pitches and you lead the harder ones....
