just a girl looking for sport climbing partners in the front range area. Experienced and capable at belaying and cleaning routes. With some time on the rock, I am a solid 5.10 lead but looking to get better.

I'm a fun sport climber!! Just head over to Shiga sometime, or maybe even Mizugakiyama or Ogawayama. If it's a long drive for you to get to Sakudaira, Japan, don't worry. I'll wait.

Hey,
I'm always looking for more people to climb with, and this season my girlfriend is planning on starting to lead. Having A) another climber and B) a female one, helps a lot when teaching a girl to climb or help with beta, don't you agree? Anyhow, I lead 11, and she follows 10. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. -A

Sent you a PM. By your post I am assuming the Colorado Front Range. Also, post up on this thread. Just post up on the last page. None of the stuff previous will matter much unless you were in the discussion.

Well, I'm not really in the Front Range area, a little bit north-west of you in Lander. I'm always looking for cool people to climb with, if you ever get up in this area and have need of someone to climb with then just PM me, I'm usually available (when I'm not at work...damn the man). Int'l Climbers Fest is coming up (july 7-10) I highly recommend making the trip...it's a great time!

Hey rocksmoxie! I'm also a girl looking for partners in the area- I just moved to Denver two days ago and left my climbing partners behind in Tennessee. It sounds like we climb at the same level. Feel free to email me at erinkahler@yahoo.com and we can head out sometime. (Also anyone else who happens to see this and wants to climb- I'm off for the next two weeks and am up for sport or easy trad)

another front range female checking in. once upon a time, i led 10s on sport and 9s on trad - but i took most of last year off and honestly have no idea where my leading ability lies right now. i've led two 7s, but i could probably whimper and cuss my way up something a little more difficult.
email or pm if interested in getting together. also, i have weekdays open right now and would LOVE to get outside and climb while we still have this awesome weather!

In reply to: just a girl looking for sport climbing partners in the front range area.
Bolts are satanic tools of the Bush administration(s), thus are not allowed in this state. Cams and nuts have somehow been grandfathered into acceptance, even though they also contain demonic stainless steel. It is rumored that the Carter administration pardoned the use of aluminum in Colorado's rock climbing, therefore you should be able to use Camalots and Friends without too many strange looks. Good thing too, because tying off to chickenheads and slinging trees would really limit our pro options.
You may find that wearing Birkenstock's latest bouldering shoe, having a Wild Oats re-usable shopping bag, eating organic apples with worms, and not shaving your pits and legs will keep you in good standing with Boulder's dudes -- these are the guys who do shave their pits and legs.
Just remember that there are no sport routes within reasonable driving distance (i.e. 5 minutes -- anything further out is inhabited by steerage) of The Center of the Known Universe.
Welcome to steerage class, those of us who tend to go down with the Titanic and have been known to chase those shiny things permanently attached to the rock.

Didn't get the email, but I tried to call Amber and left a voice message. Would be great to get a group together! Maybe you could try and send another email and we can exchange contact info?

The vast, eastern plains of Saudia Aurora are such a lovely locale. Why we have more trailer parks per capita than just about any place this side of Commerce City. Our vistas of the distant mountains are not blocked by those hideous tall plants (I think they're called trees). We know DIA's landing patterns by heart -- I don't even need to go outside to tell you which direction the wind is blowing. And let's not forgot Buckley Airfield's contribution to the arial traffic. There's nothing like an F-16 in full afterburn early on a Sunday morning to get you going.
For entertainment we have east Colfax Avenue. Ever since the vice squad has started publishing pictures of pimps and johns in the paper, things have quieted down a bit, but watching the street corner show from a booth in the local White Castle still can be fun. And shoot, there are the Aurora and Buckingham Malls, where it's fun to bring your 9-mil Glock and sight it in on a Camry or two in the parking lots. You never know when you just might need a piece during climbing. In fact, last week I found it quite useful -- putting a cap in the ass of that marmot in the Platte was great fun. But Billy Bob wasn't so pleased when I popped off a round into the bed of his F-150, especially since it ruined one of the eight 6-packs of Coors Light in the back.
In reply to: ps. shorty - i'm still waiting for my BMW. i live in boulder valley, but have yet to receive the BMW and super fancy SUV. (bummed) |

In reply to: Not at all (Mr. Thank-God-I-live-in-Lousiville-instead-of-Boulder), Bob.
Dude- I know I have issues with most of the wankers from Boulder. I was just asking a simple question. :D
Had a major epic in the "Black" on Sunday. I am trying to blame most of it on my climbing partner (kcrag) but I don't think most people will buy it. We climbed and downclimbed over 2,200 feet and still didn't get to the rim. Talk to you later about it.

(bummed) Good news, Amber, BMW now makes an SUV -- two for the price of one (or is that twice the price for one). Now you have room for the beemer, the Volvo, and the Prius in your garage.
kick ass. if i buy one, will i be cool enough for you go climbing with me again? :)
