Looking to climb near Bishop California. I havent had many people to climb with so I am not too great at leading yet. I can belay anyone, but I lead climb at a beginner level. I am looking to lead some climbs to gain confidence, but will need patience. I weigh about 200 pounds. I have all the sport gear needed and will carry it to any location we want to climb. |

I’m also about 200 pounds trying to lose some holiday weight climbing at the gym, and understand that it’s not easy to find a partner. Get used to leading indoors then transition when you are comfortable climbing up to 5.11-ish. From there, it’s easier to lead sport climbs outdoors in the 5.10 range. Start a full number grade lower until you know how to read rock better. |

Hey Aaron, take a look at Bishop Partner Find and Meet Up on Facebook if you haven’t already. Good luck. |

Also, I have an edilrid OHM for people who weigh much less than I do. |

At this point im just trying to figure out how to remove the post. Its clear this isnt helping me find a partner and im not interested in hearing someones opinions of what i should climb, when they arent interested in climbing with me. I was able to delete my post in a different forum category, but it doesnt appear that I can delete this post. |
