I'm traveling alone, remember, so lots of good places might not have a lot of people around. That's why I wanted to stick to the larger destinations.
Plus, everything out here is a new place for me; you can't do it all on one trip.

My buddy showed me around and thought these would be good start up crags.

If I hadn't gone, it probably would have been 70 degrees for three weeks straight. And I was excited to see the Valley

You don't have to be a huge area to find people. You also should have invested in a soloist or silent partner, or borrowed one. Or go masturbate in a whore house bouldering.

I went bouldering, it was fun but seems like a good way to get injured.
I might get a silent partner, but climbing with people is better.
I PM'd Voytek for Squamish, hopefully he can climb and or hook me up in parnters. It's prime season there anyway.

I climb mostly cracks. Seneca was lots of cracks and edging. I hate slab. It's not my favorite aspect of climbing, so it's not like I actively seek it out.

A partner might be better, but with a silent partner they never talk back. And you can climb with out a partner and not be completely soloing.
Voytek has three day weekends, or did. He wanted to change jobs. He can be an odd guy sometimes. He doesn't always click with everyone. I think there was a time when he really didn't like me at all.
cheesetitery!
He seems ok on PM It's primetime up there now, hopefully I can make friends in anycase.

rope soloing is indeed fun, but I'd like do it on stuff I know. Not to say I wouldn't, but I haven't done much of it on multipitch. Getting that system down in conjunction with a new area might be stressful.
Meh, who knows.

Fekkin moneybags there obviously don't give a shit how high gas prices are, damn the torpedos full steam ahead!
cheesetits on driving straight through to the Valley, not stopping at the places that are actually IN SEASON along the way, regardless if whether you had partners set up or not.
See... way it works is, you go to the places where people will actually BE climbing, it's easy enough from there to find someone to climb with. Not so easy to find partners when a place is too hot to climb, so all the smart ones are climbing where it's cool. Did yous momma raze any chillins who lived?
Did you check Tuolumne at least? I'd bet that's where all the climbers were, instead of down on the floor of the HotBox.
