Seeking climbing partner/mentor(s)!

I recently moved to SF and have yet to begin work out here. In the mean time I've been diving back into climbing after a long hiatus, getting to the gym to climb or Boulder 4-5/wk for the last month or so. I'm already seeing results, definitely stronger! But what I'm really interested is advancing in skill and climbing outside. I did get out once last week to Auburn Quarry, which was great!

I'm looking for someone willing to climb with me and/or have me tag along...and is willing to share their knowledge and walk me through the basics (sport...eventually trad too?!). I learned a ton a couple years ago but now need review & practice. I'm reading a bunch, but there's nothing like hands-on.

I figure this is an ideal time to soak up as much as I can since I have the time before starting work.
In the gym I'm climbing 5.11a/b, last week at Auburn did 5.10c. I've only led once (5.8). I can lead-belay.
I have a car and would be willing to drive car-pools :)

So let me know if you are heading out & willing to have me tag along...or even to just climb at the gym (I'm a member at Touchstone).
Thanks!

I live in Tahoe if you are willing to come here I could go bouldering with you. I don't know how much I could teach you but I could show you some fun rock.

If you are a RN and get me hooked up with a hospital job I'd mentor you up to climbing El Cap! :)

Leslie- Thanks so much! I'm really looking to climb rather than boulder, but if I happen to be out by Tahoe I will recently be in touch!

Cory- Thanks,I'll be in touch!

Sir Toby- I just moved here & am interviewing for jobs myself, but I would certainly try :) Are you in SF now? What kind of experience do you have?
If you are in SF & ever want to climb @ MC let me know...I'm always looking for more climbing partners!

Yup, in SF. Go to PG. Maybe can swap u in with a pass and would love to check out MC if you have a pass. PM me.

Hey I'm in Oakland! My name is Charlie. I'm kind of in the same boat as you. Only led once. But I wanna get into sport climbing just don't have a partner! I belong to touchstone as well. I would be super down to practice all the time :) I'm also planning lots of trips to Yosemite and other places. If you're still looking for a partner let me know!

Hey guys, I used to climb 10d/11a indoor TR (6 months ago), interested in starting again. If any of you is interested in going to MC a little late 8ish on any weekday, please email me.
