    Hi! I'm an East Coast transplant coming from the Boston climbing community. I just arrived to start grad school at Berkeley. I'm looking for a climbing partner for both indoors (5.9-5.10a) and outdoors (5.7-5.9).

    Patrick Rogers
    Patrick Rogers - Hi Diana. I'm climbing with one other person after work on Friday at Cragmont in Berkeley. You are welcome to join us.

    I've got the day off today and want to climb a bit. I TR .10d and lead .10b
    Diablo rock gym or Iron works are best for me.

    David Nowak - I can climb today... morning or afternoon... BIW is best for me...same level as you but no lead card yet.

    I'm looking for a toprope climbing partner for this Saturday around 2pm or so at BIW. Hit me up!

    John Lubotsky - Hi Yen: That's my birthday, and I'm already planning to go to Ironworks that day, and I'd love to toprope with you. And..you know that it's going to be packed for the bouldering competition, yes? Free food, free beer. Earlier would be better. 11am? -J!

    Looking for a tope rope partner for tomorrow, can go anytime during the day.

    Tom Lazarovitz
    Tom Lazarovitz - Hey Scott, If you're still looking for someone, I'm down. I, too, am available most of the day.
    Scott Barron
    Scott Barron - I am still looking. I can't decide whether it would be a better idea to go early afternoonish and try to avoid any late night crowds, or wait until night when it'll cool off a bit. Any preference?
    Tom Lazarovitz
    Tom Lazarovitz - Yeah, I'm little concerned about the heat as well. Coolest time of the day would be this morning or early afternoon, which I could probably do. In the evening, in addition to crowds, the gym could remain hot due to the residual heat from the day.
    Scott Barron
    Scott Barron - ok, would 4ish work for you?

    I climb at about a 10C/D level--I climb for the challenge as well as the fun. Looking for fellow climbers of any level who want fun and exercise! I climb in the evenings and on weekends, in Oakland mostly but I like to vary it by going to Berkeley too.

    Looking for weekday evenings and weekends. For now, top roping and some bouldering. Getting back after a work-imposed hiatus. I was doing 5.7-5.9 outdoors and 5.10-5.11 indoors earlier.
