I am also looking for climbing partners, indoor and outdoor. I used to climb a lot outdoors (back east), between 5.8- 5.10, but its been a long time, and I'm way out of shape! Looking to get back into it. I'm in San Rafael, so I could meet to climb at the gym here, but I'd also be willing to go out to East Bay or Mission Cliffs in SF. Also, I dont know too many of the good outdoor spots around here, though I hear there are some good places north of where I am in Marin, and also in East Bay. So if anyone knows of good outdoor places, Id love to get back outside. I'm a good attentive belayer, and have taught basic/intro climbing to college freshman in the past. I can lead belay, though I dont usually lead myself (though maybe by the end of this season I'll be doing that more, too). So, if theres anyone out there who will be patient with me getting back into it, or who wants someone to trade belays with, let me know!
Thanks!

Re: looking for climbing partner (bay area)
Tue, May 29, 2007 - 9:22 PMI can't be of much use on the day to day climbing (living in Fremont) but, I am always up for a Sunday bouldering trip up north. If bouldering is not your thing then I don't mind doing routes but, I have yet to rope up outdoors. As far as grades go I will try anything but have yet to be successful on anything above V6 or 5-11(indoors). The more realistic view is that I am a V-4 boulder who enjoys climbing ( or attempting to climb) anything and everything V0- to 5.10C. -

Tue, May 29, 2007 - 9:46 PMHi Glen!
I do prefer climbing with ropes (indoor and outdoor), but I've been known to boulder some, and would be into exploring any good bouldering spots in the area. Do you know of any good places? My friend, who is coming back from a year in China, knows some spots I think to climb outside in this area... so perhaps sometime we can all make a bouldering trip, or do some routes, if you're interested. I know I'm more into bouldering when I am feeling stronger and more confident in my body and movements on the rock- I think I want to get a little more in shape first. Oh, and do you have a crash pad? Keep in touch, and hopefully we can get out climbing one of these weekends. -

Re: looking for climbing partner (bay area)
Sun, February 24, 2008 - 6:30 PMAlthough Im a total beginner at rock climbing ( indoor or outdoor ), I just started a membership at Ironworks in Berkeley and would love to know a few people to climb with sometimes.?
Mostly likely anyone I work with will be more experienced in terms of climbing and bouldering than myself, if you are fine with this and perhaps sharing some knowledge I can certainly do some belaying and am focused & attentive as well.
I live in the east bay near Berkeley.
