As my soaring postcount indicates, I'm DESPERATELY in need of a reliable climbing partner! My regular partner (my wife) is out of commission for a few more months and my second most regular partner is less than reliable (MR.E :evil: ).
I am in the process of immigrating to Canada and I am not allowed to work. Now that my wife is able to take reasonable care of herself again, I have nothing but time on my hands.
I climb rock and ice. Have a solid rack for both and I'm house broken.
I'd prefer to find someone from the St.Catharines area or who would be willing to go to the bridge, but I can likely be lured further, especially once ice finally starts coming in.

Oh well...

In reply to: Next time I see you maybe you can teach me some more English, I feel I'm beeing misunderstood.
I think a lot of the time things don't come across on the net the same way you mean them. :lol:

All this rain could make for an exceptional ice season. :D
The water tables are filling, the seeps are seeping, now if it would just freeze!

Hey there,
I live in Oakville and would definitely be interested in getting out. I have been climbing for about 14 years (not much ice). I keep getting strong in the gym over the winter, then lose all of my climbing partners in the summer (I like trad, they like bolts). I am pretty busy, but I am self employed so my schedule is somewhat flexible. I am going to be near the Gunks for the last week of October...
Colin

Hey Nathan,
We still gotta get out before the snow flies, there's lots of outdoor climbing to be had (on the rock).....might have to head to buffalo crag or rattlesnake point where it's a big warmer, but that's all good...
my regular partner and I would still like to do a weekend trip down to the gunks, or kentucky or somewhere else good while we still can, if anyone else is interested
cheers

Hi there.
I noticed that you wrote this in a thread in Canada Section.
[quote:baf243d15e="buddysnack"](I like trad, they like bolts)[/quote:baf243d15e]
I noticed that you mention the Gunks, my favourite place to climb.
I know trapps pretty good, so if you would be interested in taking some trips I would love to go there again.
If your partners go sport climbing in summer months, why don't you let me know and we will go do some trad.
Please check my refferences and lets go climb.

Next weekend as in the 4th & 5th?
I think Rebecca is going to be changing her appointment schedule. I'll probably be having Monday mornings open, Tues. & Thurs. afternoons open, and any other day open unless we have something else scheduled for whatever day.

I'm fairly busy on the weekends but wednesdays are good for me if you're looking for a partner.
Oh, my name is brent, sorry. I'm in hamilton and would like to try out this "Nemo" or "buffalo" or "rattlesnake" sometime.
I saw Devils punchbowl, Nate. Looks like a lot of the watherfalls around here but it might yield some cool ice if it gets cold.
lemme know about wed

Hey!
James and I climb at Milton most weekends, if anyone is heading out let me know what crag you plan/aprox times etc. and maybe I can start putting faces to names to the Ont. contingent of rc.com :)
We were at bottleglass last weekend (brr!) Hopefully this weekend will be sunny...
Cheers, Amy

Saturday isn't looking too bad. There should be some sun and not super cold.
Last Thursday we went to Buffalo Crag and it was pretty nice.

I didn't negotiate for three years to have some postwhore wreck access on the one day he does go ice climbing :P
Besides, it rarely gets decent enough to climb anyway. :roll:

There would be a few people upset at losing Tiffany Falls, Tews Falls, and Felkners. :evil: I didn't negotiate for three years to have some postwhore wreck access on the one day he does go ice climbing :P Besides, it rarely gets decent enough to climb anyway. :roll:
thanks for the heads up, Grant.
so there is some stuff at tews and felkners, eh???
good to hear (tiffany is ok, too!)
Thanks, Grant

Tews takes a cold year and rarely freezes but there are other smears adjacent. Beware of hanging ice collapsing. Websters Falls area is not open to climbing.
Felkners has a high flow but will come in during prolonged cold snaps and can be fun.
Tiffany is more reliable and I've seen it come in as soon as mid December.
All the above are subject to a permit system.
There are also other icefalls on city property that freeze with varying results. No permit or access issues at this time.
