Hi
I'm looking for info and partners to climbing near Santiago or maybe a little farther for a week in January 2012.
I'm not interested in doing mountaineering, only sport or easy trad.

give me a shout closer to when you get there and I'll hook you up. what kind of experience do you have? how long will you be there for?
not a lot of mountaineering in jan in santiago, so you're good there, but the sport and trad are pretty good.
if all else fails, there is a gym there (el muro) and it has a website.
knowing spanish will help A LOT there. chileans dont speak much english, and even then their spanish is fucked up. but if you speak well then you'll be fine (even if you speak a little youll be ok)

I'll be there for a month but I want to climb only for a week, I'm meeting my parents for the rest of the trip.
I've been climbing for three years and I started leading shortly after that. I'm a weekend warrior with a decent amount of experience multi-pitching.
No hablo Espaņol, solo Colombiano, pero entiendo el Chileno bastante bien.

All right, well, depending on what's going on with my friends down there, I'll put you in touch. A week isn't much of a window, particularly in January during vacation time, but if they're free then they're good folks to hang out with. Some are native-English speakers and others are Chilean with varying degrees of English.
If you understand anything Chileans say then you'll be good.
