Trad Partner: New/Red/Seneca

I'm looking for a trad partner as stoked on gear lines as I am for the fall. Through a series of partners moving west, a girlfriend in her last year of med school, and living in Cleveland, the "regular climbing partners consistently available on the weekends" phone tree is dwindling.

I'm currently solid leading anything in the 10s, so I'm preferably looking for someone who climbs stronger than I do so I can push it and get better (aren't we all). But, if you can get up 5.9 cracks, I'm happy to mentor. As far as sport goes, I have some harder 12c/d projects I'm working... so in an ideal world we'd be climbing in the same range, but it's not required, just makes things easier.

Send me a message with a bit about yourself if you're interested. Bonus if you like Phish.

Might head to Seneca on Sunday (50% chance of precip on Saturday) but no partner at the moment. Realize that's last-minute but drop a line if you might be game! And, if not this go-round, then perhaps later in the summer/fall...

I don't climb nearly that well, but I'm coming through RRG around August 25, 26, 27th if you'd like a climbing partner. (Actually am in Seneca the weekend before, and driving through RRG en route to Boulder, CO)

I realize ratings can differ a bit between areas -- In the gym, I lead low 10s, TR high 10s. In the gunks, my few times out have me seconding around 5.6 and 5.7.

Safe, solid, but to date I have only limited outdoor experience so keep that in mind.

I'll shoot you a PM too, but wanted to post on your thread so anyone else looking for partners in the area would see this.

Obligatory Phish mention: big fan of Trey having seen him in Chicago for the three Fare Thee Well shows.

looking for a Seneca partner this weekend if you're motivated.

would be into getting a lot of stuff done in the 10/10+ area but will be psyched to follow you on harder stuff.

let me know!!
