Number of climbing partners

Do you have a tried and true partner who you're loyal to and find its just not the same without? Maybe a circle of parnters? Or none and just head to the crag solo and make friends?

I have probably over 15 and I'm hardly ever climbing with the same person more than twice in a row. It's nice to have a variety of skills, personalities, and interests.

I have quite a few - some I've climbed with for decades and some for only a couple years. I will climb with strangers but like it better when I "know" I can trust them to be there for me. My wife and I have logged a lot of miles together and is my favorite partner until the going gets long, heavy, and hard.
