ReplyHi, I'm visiting Seattle and don't have any extra gear here (crash pads, ropes, etc). I'd still love to get outside and climb this weekend. Anyone interested? I've been climbing for six years, but I haven't climbed in about 6 months.

ReplyI've been climbing for a few years and top rope 5.10 and can lead 5.8 or 5.9 sport. I have enough gear for us to climb. All you would need are shoes and a harness. A helmet would be a good idea too. I'm safe and pay attention. I ask you to do the same.

ReplyI am a student looking for someone(s) to help me start outdoor climbing. So far all of my experience has been in a gym, and I really want to gain some experience this summer. Thanks for the help!

I've been climbing indoors for a bit, but I don't know how to lead climb and I would love to get more experience outdoors. I'm looking for someone who would be interested in some mid-week or weekend climbing trips.

Comment/Reply - Msg Nathan Williamsgoing to exit 38 on Saturday. Anyone down?
- Andy Majewski - I'm interested, assuming the weather cooperates. Looks like I climb about the same level according to your profile. I can lead or belay.
- Nathan Williams - Just did my first lead last weekend-depends on the route I guess. I am good at cleaning and rappelling off a route. As for gear - I don't have a rope or quickdraws yet, do you?
- Andy Majewski - Yes to both. I've got the beginnings of a trad rack as well, but need to practice before I start trad leading.
