Anyone out there in the same funk and needing to get out on the rock on weekends welcomed to write.

Skip Daniel wfdanieljr@yahoo.com Charlotte
Traditional lead climber. I've led climbs up to 5.10. I was "weaned" at Stone Mountain, and love friction. I also like sandstone (e.g., Zion), because the "breakability" adds a new dimension. I've climbed mountains over 20,000 feet in South America with my friends. I'm looking for climbing friends/partners; I've had female partners in the past. Please contact me. I do winter camping also (so far, down to -32 degrees F.)

Adam Deck deckmonkeywrench@yahoo.com Brasstown
I've enjoyed climbing for 2+ years now and am thankful to be centrally located in western North Carolina with access to Ga, Tn, and Al. I'm a fledgling trad leader (.7+) with a basic rack, healthy/relaxed attitude and good availability for climb time. There are options in climbing styles, I just like being on the rock- toprope, sport and trad are all OK by me.

I've been climbing for about 18 years, on and off. Prefer trad, aid, mountaineering, and ice, but do some sport too. Comfortable leading 5.8 and often 5.9, sometime hardder. (Gitting out for shape with not enough partners!) I'm out there for the fun of it, not to see how hard a route I can send. I'm especially interested in ice climbing partners.
