Hey, so I got knocked up in a bike accident, and I have a bit of time on my hands after work.

Anyone want some advice on: placing gear, making anchors, ect? I see some beginners who are on track to kill themselves or others, I would enjoy giving some advice on trad.

I like to hang out at the Dome in Boulder Canyon, we could meet up there. I get out of work about 5pm M-F.

So, I'm trying to envision this...

Hope you heal quickly triple T.

I also hope the other person involved does the right thing and helps you raise this accidental love child...

Join the Meetup climbing groups in the Denver/Boulder area and set that up. I do believe their is a constant need for instruction with all groups mainly composed of beginners. And, when you heal up, you might be able to climb with some of them!

Tim,

How long will you be recuperating? I won't be in the area for another few weeks but would love to take you up on this. Can supply some food/beer while hanging out.

I'm envisioning tandem bike. Steep rocky decent. Front wheel gets hung up. You both go over the bars. And wham!

Thanks Tom, I appreciate it. He hasn't stepped up yet...

Close Steve; I was wearing roller blades, not skates :P

Greg, I had a tandem for a while, nothing that fun happened on it though.

Mark, shoot me a message.

Got a couple replies, may try for a group session...not like that!

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
