Chicagoland Lady Climbers?

I know I should be posting this in the "partners" section of the forum but I just get responses from men even though I specify "female climbing partner." I just began climbing a little over a month ago and only do a 5.8 / 5.9 gym climbing. I still have a lot of learning to do. I can climb anytime Tuesday or Wed (Wed or Thurs after the first of the year) or after 5:30pm the rest of the week. I'd like to do a few weekend trips to southern Illinois or devils lake etc. I live in the western suburbs and began climbing at the Downers Grove YMCA and VE recently. All of my friends who climb moved out west and the rest refuse to even try. My husband is to scared.... So I do have a dilemma concerning a lack of climbing buddies in my circle.

Silly boys- kinda cute that they respond to a call for a female climbing partner. Think they are getting in touch with their fem side???

Anyhow, I can't help you with a full time partner, but if you want a temp. climbing buddy over the holidays- I'm gonna be out in the Western 'burbs visiting parents for about a week, I think, over Christmas. Where are you at, and where is your gym? We'll meet up if ya want!

(I climb 5.11c gym climbing.)

hi - looks like we're at about the same level. i live in the city, but i'm hoping to get out to VE more. if you're willing to come in, i climb at fitplex and could get to hidden peak pretty easily. my schedule's a little crazy, but maybe weekends?
