Well, the title pretty much says it all. I have been climbing for a couple years but have never ventured beyond the first pitch. At this point I only sport climb because I do not have a rack. So, I would like to learn on a two or three bolt anchor. However, I would be more than willing to follow trad. I know how to remove trad gear. I have am familiar with the process but I want to make sure I am doing everything correctly. I can lead up to nines and follow tens but, I may be a little slow on the tens. Looking forward to hearing from you thanks!
Hey Tommy, I'd be happy to show you the ropes of getting off the ground. Pick a classic you'd be stoked to explore in LCC and we can make it happen. I'm available most weekday mornings.
I'm availabe most weekdays after work and weekends. Sort of the opposite schedule Adam has. I've know a some areas in the local canyons that are well protected, moderate gear routes. PM me and we can exchange contacat info. - Josh
Hey guys, I'm in the same boat as Tommy, just moved to the area from Indiana. I've followed a bit of trad, but wouldn't call myself an expert in removing gear. Maybe schoolroom or crescent crack to start on?

To get the full experience you should choose an area that requires one to build a belay station. One of the best areas that protects well and has endless belay possibilities is Steort's Ridge. Not the greatest climb but a great place to learn.
