OK, thanks. Maybe some time with others will cast a different light on your ex-partner, who knows.... In terms of readiness, I'm afraid at the very root of the issue I don't agree. Climbing does not come to those who wait. Climbing only comes through the doing. You will not lead one trad route by waiting, not a single one. If you want to climb trad, arm yourself with the best knowledge your wallet and temperment will allow... AND GET AFTER IT. But you have to want it. And then you have to KEEP wanting it, pitch after pitch, route after route. You're only a trad climber when you're trad climbing, its not a Title. And leading isn't some Rocket Science endeavor all though it does have its complications. Yes, you should wait till you're ready. My question is.... why aren't you ready NOW? What is holding you back? I suspect it has nothing whatsoever to do with your ex-partner? DMT
