Partner wanted: Chamonix June/July 2015
|
I'll be in Chamonix from June 27 - July 27 this summer. I have a friend joining me for the final week but am looking for climbing partners for the first 3 weeks of the trip. I'm looking to do as many alpine routes as possible. I climb in the WI/AI4 and easy 5.11 range and will drag to France all the group gear that would be needed to do these routes. I'm renting a studio apartment a few blocks away from the Midi tram for the month (1 BR, kitchen, living room, bathroom, etc.) and crashing with me is an option. Basically, if you can get yourself to Cham you'll have a partner, place to sleep, and a bunch of gear ready to go! Bonus points if you speak French, because I definitely don't. PM me with questions or interest. |

Bump - still looking for partners for Cham! |
|
This sounds sweet! I wish I didn't already have a trip planned or I for sure would be jumping on this. Good luck with finding a partner! |
|
I will be in Italy until late June and then perhaps in Corsica climbing, so I may be able to come from there. I'll keep you posted on my plans, but I don't speak French haha...decent Italian and Spanish. |
|
Too bad our schedules do not overlap. I am looking for a partner for the first half of June (6/4/ - 6/14). |
|
I'm renting a place on the Promenade Marie Paradis, about 3 or 4 blocks from the Midi Tram. |

how did you find your rental? looking for one for this winter |
|
Hi Sam, |
|
I found the rental on airbnb.com - awesome site that I am just now learning about. |
|
Airbnb is the shit.....think I've used it around 15 times all over the world, got a 2 bedroom apartment overlooking the Mediterranean in Mallorca a couple years ago for $80/night, among tons of other great deals. My buddy who lives near Fenway Park is getting $400/night for his apartment on weekends there...all they have to do is go away haha. Never get hotels again! |

A bit noisy from being right above Monkey Bar, but... well... I considered proximity to the best expat bar in town to be a perk. It was a little cramped with my partner and I and all our stuff laid out to dry, but the price was impossible to beat. Sylvie and Patrick were great hosts. airbnb.com/rooms/1035539 |
