Title: Climbing partner request
Post by: LennyJ1 on July 20, 2011
I have been doing abit of bouldering latley and its great and all but I want to do some climbing.

Looking to go and do some either on rock or indoor. Ozone or Tollymore for indoors is fine and can pick up if needed (Within reason) If the outdoors is dry then could do some outdoors if you want.

This is a real plea as I am getting bored of going solo.

Would you be up for some indoor then? I don't have much trad gear yet. But have more than enough for indoor?

Would you prefer Tollymore or Ozone?

So far i've only been climbing outdoors with someone else leading, i'm still a bit of a noob. Tollymore would be good for me at the min but next mouth i should be able to give the ozone a go too. Would you be interested in doing some top roping until we get enough gear between us to do trad climbing? I'm plaanning on getting a rope and some other bits and pieces.

Lenny, my mate and I try to get to the ozone twice a week, but the times are all over the place and often changed about last minute.

I know it's not much help... but I have your number here... can let you know when I'm heading down and you can join if possible. If there are ropes free we try to do some routes, boulder if there isn't, and some days try a bit of leading.
Hoping to get into a bit of outdoor stuff soon.

Just when it's in my mind you should have a badge for me.  I should be able to be in Belfast on Friday.  When would be convenient to RV to get it please?
