Hi all,

Recently moved to SoCal (Carlsbad) and looking for people to climb with. I like trad/sport/cragging/multi-pitch/cracks/granite/indoor/you name it. Love climbing with beginners and experienced climbers alike.

John,

I just moved to Carlsbad as well! I sent you a PM.

I live near San Marcos. There's a group I climb with at Lake Dixon in Escondido. I haven't made it up to Mt. Woodson or any other crags yet since I've only been climbing here for a couple of months. I'll send you a PM with my contact info.

Hey Jon. I will be in San Diego next week and would love to climb J-Tree 11/30 - 12/2. I can follow up to 5.10c on gear. I can lead 5.7 - 5.8 trad, or 5.9 - 5.10 sport. I have climbed lots of places on the east coast - New River Gorge, Seneca Rocks, Gunks, Cathedral Ledges. I have climbed a few places in Southern Cal - Tahquitz, Holcomb Valley, and Mission Gorge. Please let me know if you're interested.

Hi Jon,

I usually trad lead 5.8-5.9, sport lead 10a/b. I can follow a grade or so higher for both trad and sport, and am working slowly toward higher grades after a major injury.

Trips over the past few months included multiple to Tahquitz and J-Tree, and one to Lone Pine Peak. I tend to enjoy longer climbs with and scenery. My girlfriend's a couple of grades lower, my climbing friends have grown a couple of grades harder, so I've been either cruising or cursing. I'd like to develop a few partners somewhere in between.

Drop a line to try to meet up... same for anyone reading your post!

Weekends only (bummer).

Jason
