LOL.
No kidding, Curt. I think nippon may have set a new standard for random non-sequiturs.
Ang,
Hit the gym in K-ville. Hopefully, you'll meet some people to climb with. Also, head out to The Obed (solo or with a friend). Check out South Clear Creek and Lily Buttress. You may make new friends there or at least you should be able to catch a ride on someone else's rope.
Good Luck.

The University of Tennessee has a climbing wall in the HPER bldg go Mon.-Thurs. between 4 and 6 and you should find someone to help you, or go to the Climbing Center on Sutherland Ave. Plenty of climbers around. Good luck.
