Looking for partners all over the west

This subreddit appears to have fallen into disuse, but I thought I'd give it a shot.

I am on a road trip for the next two months or so and am in need of partners in a few locations. I'm climbing in Indian Creek right now, heading out in four or five days. My tentative schedule is as follows, all dates extremely estimated:

  • Zion/Red Rocks - 3/30 to 4/10

  • Break to see family in Phoenix - 4/11 to 4/15

  • Joshua Tree - 4/16 to 4/22

  • Yosemite (I already have some partners here) - 4/24 to 5/8

  • Vedauwoo - 5/9 to 5/18

I lead 5.8/5.9 clean & 5.10 badly (but safely). Will follow into the low 11s, higher if you don't mind me jugging past the tough bits. I love cracks and am especially keen on offwidths. I come equipped with a rack up to #5 camalot (with double #1s and triple #2s) & a 70m rope. Nearly all of my climbing experience is on sandstone so I'd be appreciative of rope guns on other types of stone so I can have a break in period on it without breaking my neck. I am also interested in learning how to aid climb.

Also local advice on where to go, what to climb, how to avoid crowds, and where to camp for free/cheap (out of the back of my truck).

I am also totally open to visiting other places if I already have a partner there. So if you are somewhere near my general route and want to meet up, please let me know.

Thanks for any help & hopefully I'll see some of you soon at a crag near you.

-- I'm headed back into the Creek shortly, will be back in town (and wifi) Wednesday-ish. --

--3/29: Back from the Creek, in Moab today and probably tomorrow, then heading towards Zion---
