Alas, it is but a sad day for me. In the past I have scoffed at those searching for partners on here and now karma took a nice chunk out of my ass and forced me to follow the same path. Shoulder "in juries", careers, and just simply not being able to keep up have given me very few to climb outdoors with.

Im specifically looking for people who are interested in short to long trad trips. To be quite frank I like getting up early (8 isnt early boulderers) and climbing until it gets dark...or until my batteries die on my headlamp, if that gives you an idea of what I mean. Yeah, I know, I've gone through a few partners but its how I like to do it when I'm not clipping bolts.

So if the Gunks, Wallface, Cannon, or anywhere else in the daks sounds good to you hit me up. I have a full rack and rope and a decent amount of aid gear. And a car. Im a teacher so I have a decent amount of time off and my summers are wide open. Im not gonna talk climbing grades and stuff on here (not my style), if that is a concern of yours pm me. I live in the Philly area.

I have a number of partners for the Gunks, but not many who will travel to other areas to climb. I love full days of climbing and have been known to do one-day trips up to the 'Dacks for ice climbing, starting at 5AM. I only lead 5.5, but follow 5.8 pretty reliably. I occasionally get 5.9 or 5.10 pitches cleanly, but fall more often. I haven't climbed much by headlight, but have no problems hiking out in the dark. I have a rack and ropes. Let me know if you want to climb sometime.

I am looking for a partner for this weekend to climb in the ADKs. If you are interested.

Alex, if it doesn't rain I'll be at the gunks this weekend and then the red the weekend after. Later in October should work though. Ill hit you up around then and see whats going on. I'd love to hit up wallface or pok-o before winter really hits.

Wallface and Poko are both high on my list to get to this fall. Let me know! Enjoy the Red! I practically live there during the summer. Awesome place!
