Name? John T.
Where you live? Napa
Where you like to climb? Bay Area, Tahoe, Yosemite
Type of climbing and climbing level?
I’ve been climbing off and on for 30 years. Currently I’m in an “on” phase, having moved to Bay Area from Florida a few years ago. In prime (1980) could lead 5.10+ and follow 5.11+ Trad (Sport didn’t exist then, so I’m definitely “old school”). I’m training hard to get back into shape, with the goal of climbing better than ever. Don’t see that as a problem, given the advances in gear (can you say “sticky shoes” and “cams”), and the fact that I’m actually “training.” Can comfortably lead 5.9 Sport and 5.7 Trad, and follow several grades higher.
Age? 48
Availability? Weekends, with the occasional weekday
Any additional comments?
Safety is very important to me, as I promised my wife I wouldn’t get myself killed. I’m open to pretty much anything, but multi-pitch climbs are what I always enjoyed the most.
