I have a 3 week vacation on my hands. What is your recommended chosspile for January-February climbing?
Actually, I have an idea on where I want to head already, but I could be swayed. The price of flights is the big decider for me. So, I am leaning toward JT and the surrounding areas.
I am up for easy trad, sport and bouldering. I can't climb worth a darn since I have been stuck behind a computer for the last year. Anyone going to be in a sunny location (JT and LA area would be a ++) and looking for a partner?
PS Have no fear about me imposing on your pad! I am going to snuggle up with JT512 while I am in the area.

I'd go to Brazil and not come back. I don't know how the climbing is there but with about 5,000 miles of ocean coastline and the highest rate of models per capita, how could you go wrong?

Welcome back to the land of the living. I here Potrero is good that time of year. It will probably still be kinda cold anywhere in the States then. At least at night.
It makes me feel better to pretend I could climb. Then my beta is more believable.
I need to look more closely at Potrero.

JT will be cold in Jan, esp nights.
Have gear to dress warm and be prepared for storms.

JT can be mean, but I understand he is actually friendly offline.
...and I never noticed him being more or less mean for any particular month

Or any particular time of the month for that matter, hence evidence of him not being female.
