If I were to move to Yosemite or the surrounding area in March or April, how hard would it be to find an experienced big wall climber that I could climb with even though I have no big wall experince. Thanks.

Not hard, just got to camp 4 and get to know people. There are never enough partners to be found in the valley, as long as you aren't a jerk or an idiot it should be easy.

go prepared and climb solo, soloing a wall is the most bitchin and gratifying experience you'll have....unless of course you've had other....totally bitchin'... gratifying experiences? :lol: :arrow:

Having your own personal gear suitable for a big wall will make it that much easier... a harness you can survive in for week(s) at a time, a gri-gri, jumars and at least one set of ladders.
Every big wall climber should make at least one ascent with a haul/clean bitch. Besides its a great way to pay your dues.
A positive attitude, strong back and a willingness to ante up on the green accessories go far too. Just be careful with that last one in the valley. I speak from experience on all these subjects, regretfully.
