    I've been climbing for the last 6 months with 3 or 4 different people in the evenings, but am looking to find a consistent partner who is available mornings for climbing 2-3 times a week. M/W/F is ideal, and mornings are best.

    Hi, Im Jessica. Although I am new to climbing it has completely taken over as one of my passions. I have only done bouldering,as it is what interests me most, but Im just waiting to buy a harness to start top roping. My long term goal is to crack climb :)

    Sophia
    Sophia - Hello Jessica, I'm new also and feel the same! I love it! I've been to Ironworks once but didn't climb. It looks like a great place. I would like to try it sometime. If you would be interested in climbing sometime let me know! Sophia :)
    Michael Dougherty
    Michael Dougherty - Hi Jessica, I'm essentially a novice climber. I work not far from Ironworks, so I'm generally available to climb there most weeknights. If you're ever looking for a partner there, let me know. Michael

    I'm looking for a regular belay partner(s) that is free during the evenings on weekdays (around 8 usually). I'm a 10 top roper that has started venturing into the world of 11s.

    Hi there! My climbing partner and I are learning to lead climb and are looking for a third person (ideally female and petite) to join us. We top-rope at 10d/11a level and lead at 10b. We try to climb 1-2x on weekday evenings.
