Do you enjoy climbing lead climbing, top-rope climbing, or bouldering at Mission Cliffs, Great Western Power Company or Iron Works, but don't always have a regular partner?

Do you enjoy sport climbing, trad climbing, or bouldering outdoors?

Since my existing climbing partners can't always make it, I'd love meet additional climbers with which to do some routes and problems and exchange pointers. Especially looking at this point for lead climbing, bouldering, and outdoor trad/sport climbing partners. Mostly interested in partners who can lead at this point and have their Touchstone lead climbing card, but on days when I'm looking to climb and can't find any lead partners, I'm happy to top-rope with you occasionally as a second option.

For the gym, I generally prefer off-hours times (mostly weekdays 8:30-12:30 or 1:30-5:30) and weekends and ~2-hour sessions (I like to build stamina on 8+ climbs or 15+ problems per visit, especially when traveling to GWPC or Ironworks since I live in SF), so hopefully you're of like mind. But I can do occasional nighttime visits as well.

Even if I happen to climb a bit faster or slower than you do, I'm happy to be patient as you climb at your pace if you can return the favor when I'm pushing myself on tougher climbs. I've been pretty plateaud for a while so would love to climb w/ supportive partners who want to push each other in a positive way and perhaps do occasional training-oriented sessions to increase strength and endurance.

Since my schedule changes week-to-week, I typically would email you once per week with desired days/times/places to climb, so you can reply-back if/when those dates/times/places work for you.

I've been climbing at Mission Cliffs primarily since January '09 and am currently a 5.11c+ climber and V4+ boulderer. Getting over to GWPC and IronWorks at least once per week is a priority for me for some route variety (since I tend to see the MC routes the most).

I am also lead certified in Touchstone gyms and happy to lead belay and lead climb as well. I have a 1/2 length rope perfect for indoor mock leading or actual leading, which I'm happy to share

In terms of outdoor climbing, I've set up and climbed top rope multiple places, and lead 5.5-5.8 trad climbs at Tahoe, Yosemite, Tuolumne, Red Rocks & Joshua Tree. I have plenty of trad gear and am looking to do both local day trips (Castle Rock, Pinnacles) and extended out-of-area trips once the weather gets better again. If the above sounds good, please include your climbing type preferences in your reply as well as your phone number and info about your current weekly schedule (for gym climbing) and/or extended spring/summer/fall schedule (for outdoor climbing).

A couple final key notes:
- For outdoor partners, I'm only interested in folks I've already climbed indoors with. So if you're interested in climbing outdoors someday, I'd like to climb indoors with you at least a few times to see if we're a good fit.
- Also, I'm not seeking short-term partners, if you happen to just be in town for a quick trip and looking for a random trip partner.

I look forward to meeting you!

Cheers,
-Jason
