Seeking Rumney climbing partners

First rule of solo club....

Harder to keep yourself from doing it out of concern that someone who looks up to you might try and emulate you. This has been an issue for as long as I can remember - I remember talking to "Hot Henry" about it 40 years ago - he was concerned.

2 nights ago I was talking to a woman that I have been mentoring a little the past couple of years. She is going out to Boulder and wanted to know about the routes on the Flatirons. I told her as much as I could recall but I specifically did NOT tell her that I had soloed some. I would never ever.... Well I guess I have talked about it a little with my son but he knows enough not to tell me much of what he does.

I am with Soon in that I will turn my back (and walk away if possible) in the presence of (what I perceive as) sketchy behavior. Not self righteous - just don't want to see anything bad. I agree with Nick in that soloing itself isn't necessarily a red flag and that most accidents (not just raw numbers but proportionally) are of the garden variety off the end of the rope variety. Complacency.

Well Eli your recommendation def got some attention, in his defense we do know eachother and im not just some random on mountain project that would definatley not be a good idea. I did end up finding some partners that day after running laps at jimmy cliff. They turned out to be a lot more dangerous than my earlier climbs at jimmy, totally freaked me out. Pulling me off the wall not giving me anyyyy slack to clip it was a nightmare I soon left the crag very frustrated after that climb.
Safe climbing everyone

I'm free to climb at Rumney this week if anyone is keen! Am planning to head there and see who's hanging around during the day regardless (despite some inclement Wednesday weather forecast..).

Andre you up there now?

Hey Zac, sorry, didn't get WiFi til now, no not today. Thinking after the rain meaning Wednesday, will confirm with you tomorrow if you're keen?

Ah, working the rest of the weej but was free today. Next time.

Any weekend I am down to climb Rumney, I don't know the area well but I a, looking to get really familiar with it haha. Any weekend after this weekend hit me up. I have a hike planned for 23-29th but noone wants to come so I will definitely ditch that for climbing.

Heading there Wednesday morning and there until this Friday if anyone is nearby!

I'll be around on Friday!

Anyone this friday?

Been awhile, but is anyone around this week?

I may be at Rumney (weather permitting) on Sunday (the 23rd) from about 11:15 or so 'til 4:00ish. I'm coming from Tamworth and drive a blue Forrester. I'm partnerless (Ian's injured) and looking to climb 10's and 11's.

I'll probably still be driving at that point - any chance you're around later this week?

Sadly, no. Heading south (unfortunately).

I'll be in the area dirtbaggng for basically all of September... From VA, looking to hook up with some people to show me around

Anyone want to do sept 4th a few hours in the am before the hoards show up for the weekend? I can lead etc etc..

I'm around all week trying to climb

My orange toaster and I are in the parking lot looking for partners today and tomorrow

Hi everyone. I just moved to NH this week and plan to be at Rumney a lot this fall, mainly on the weekends. Feel free to send me a PM if you want to climb at any point.

Anyone up for an early morning of climbing tomorrow? I have be back in Hanover by noon, but I could be there from say 7-11 or something if anyone is interested.

Hope to get to meet some of you soon,
John

Who's around this week? :)
