he guys, just stopping by to introduce myself. Name is Steve, 29, male

Been climbing for two years, started out doing top rope and following on trad. Just starting to lead a little bit of trad stuff. My best climb so far has been a 5.12, probably only comfortable leading a 5.9 at absolute max.

Stuck in GA, some ok climbing here but try to make it to NM and CO twice a year to climb some better stuff.

I find this funny. First off, I didn't enter the room, I sleep in the room. That's why it's called couchsurfing.com Secondly, the reason there wasn't a party on friday was because everyone got arrested on thursday. Thirdly, fuck you. You know you wish you partied with me.
