Howdy all. I started climbing September '13 at Pacific Edge in Santa Cruz and have become hopelessly addicted. I have a few people I climb with already, but am looking for more. I can climb in the gym or outside just about any weekend, and most evenings at PE. I took the Climbing 101 class offered at PE and have just started getting into the 5.10/V2 routes inside. My main focus is to start climbing outside and am signed up for the anchors and lead classes. I've been to Pinnacles three times now(once with a paid guide, twice with more experienced climbers) and really enjoy it, although so far I keep the grades 5.9 and under and only top rope. (I do want to lead outside eventually, but again I'll be climbing well below my indoor grade.) Being almost 40 I'm very safety minded. If you aren't we won't be a good mix. That said I've been into mountain bikes and dirtbikes my whole life, so I'm not a total ninny.

Anyway, if you're looking for someone to climb with at Pacific Edge or outside I'd be stoked to climb with you. Bouldering, top rope, lead eventually, whatever. I'm just happy to be climbing and do it every chance I get.

Cheers!
