You must be new to the internets, so I'll attempt to give you some advice.

1) You're and your; along with they're, their and there have different meanings and uses.

2) When you react to someone's posting by automatically using derogatory terms; i.e. name calling, usually doesn't lend itself to helpful advice for future questions.

3) You say that you're new to this sport, but something as simple as knowing what a locking carabiner is, and what it's used for tends to make me believe you are nothing more than a troll.

Being new to the sport has nothing to do with you inability to write understandable English sentences or ask a coherent question.

Check out the meetup.com group called "San Diego ACTIVE Climbers." I've never hung out with them, but I know that they often plan group trips in the San Diego area.

At this stage in your climbing career, you shouldn't be looking FOR places to climb, but rather for people to climb with.

I hope I don't sound to pedantic, but I think you meant to say "I couldn't care less".

However, if you are trying to tell us that you care a little here is some more reading on carabiners:
