Looking for a regular top rope partner for Tuesdays and some Fridays at Great Western. I'm fairly new to climbing, working on 5.10s, but like a good challenge. I'm laid back about experience level, just looking for someone fun and consistent.

Comment on movie - Msg Jonathon KresnerWalking through the converted power mill building first looking at the bouldering and short beginner slabs, then having a look at the nice and high lead climbing and top rope section. Finally the tour ends upstairs after checking out the fitness section and the awesome circuit board.
