O.K., here's the scene. I'm like Alpinclymber1, I like climbing with females. So, anyway, a couple of females PM me from this site, wanting to climb. I'm like cool, let's get to it. Turns out, these woman aren't really into climbing, they're 30 somethings, kinda overweight and outta shape, and on the husband hunt. I just wanna climb, so........... That's why I posted a profile picture, so now it's clear that I'm not husband material, at least in the traditional sence. Any ladies that actually want to move over lots of stone, PM me.

I've met some really cool folks on this site, and a few wackos. I'll admit, when I first joined this site, I considered the fact that surfers on an internet site would likely have a higher chance of being social miscreants, wackos, and/or child molesters, but this has not been the case.
Just use your judgement when picking partners, and this site can be a very valuable tool. Hell, atg200 is dragging my sorry ass up Moonlight Buttress in two months. woohoo!!!!

Since last summer, I've climbed with a growing number of the SoCal crew, and I gotta say it's been great. Several of my best climbing trips involve folks from here. Except for turning down the occasional propisition from toobigtoclimb, it has been way cool

It has been good so far; I have climbed with several RC.com people. I have found them to be very interesting as well as safe climbers. I am looking forward to climbing with more people from this site.

Nothing but good times with people from the site. The gatherings are especially fun. You would expect a meeting of Type "A" personalities to have some problems, but it always goes smoothly.
Now, if I can just get Prana back in that sweater.....

Maybe we should have a RC.com "Survivor" gathering. We'll all meet somewhere where there is absolutely no climbing for a month. Then we'll hear about positive and negative reactions.

I found out about this site from nice folks that I'd met "in real life" (NateC and smithclimber). Thanks, guys!

Hi,
My climbing partner and love of my life was as a result of a PM here on RC.com.
She is fantastic!
Thanks RC.Com

All positive here, Have met 4 while they have visited the Islands, and have had great info provided by cruising thru the forums.
I am planning a trip soon and will be meeting a few more climbers from RC.com
Anyone coming to Hawaii, PM me and we climb!

i've climbed with more people on this site than would probably acknowledge me, and i've only had two mildly unfavorable experiences.
however, i've met pratically my entire climbing circle through the site and have gained countless friends. even met my climbing partner at SLC gig, even though he didnt acknowledge me in his post (grr),

yeah, i hooked up with some rc.com'ers and they killed me and stole my gear. bastards!
okay... the time or two i've climbed with rc.com'ers, i've had a great time. this goes the same with bouldering.com'ers, offthedeck.com'ers, rec.climber's, cascadeclimbers.com'ers, and boldering.com'ers.
climbers are generally good folks, independent of what internet forums they frequent.

I have had mostly great experiences. I've met a group of people who I climb with most every week through this site (YOU GUYS ROCK!)....all awesome people and fun to climb with. I'm really thankful to have met climbing buddies who I can now call good friends. Thanks to the site for the hookup!

My experiences w/ rc.com'ers ...
Met jhnewengland at Qunicy Quarries one day for some TR fun. Went to Rumney with boneware and had some sport fun. Went to the Gunks with both of them for some trad fun.
Then I went to jhnewengland's pad during the Rumney gathering, met a bunch of Candians, and met greenmantle and blueleaper.
Then I met green, blue, jumaringjeff and tcollins at the Quarries one day for some TR and bouldering.
Then I went to Rose Ledge and Wendel Road Crag with greenmantle. A while later I went to the gym with blueleaper, jumaringjeff didn't show.
Then I drove to TWall with climbinganne to meet hoppinbig and others. We went to Fosters - me, hoppin, anne and three Mainers - while tradpuppy waited for mike at TWall.
Then we all chilled and I met Brandon (rc.com name?), tommyf and his girl Misty (rc.com?). Tommy and Misty made hoppinbig and I some fricken awesome kabobs at TWall. We all drank Yeungling and it was a good thing.
Then I drove back up with climbinganne. We made good time.
Back up in Boston, tcollins and blueleaper came over to help me build my home woody.
Tcollins just left my place after a session on said woody. It's all good.
rc.com is a good place to chat and meet other climber types. I agree with those who say that "online is online and real life is real life." But so far, everyone I've met has acted and climbed with the same attitude and ethics they show online. And it's been all good.

Have only met two in person so far and they were good experiences.
Have had only one or two bad experiences on this site, which is fine, as it is only a website. Not real life.

My wife and I met, climbed and drank with a bunch of great people at J-tree last weekend. I only met one person I didn't care for but I met about 40+ people who are pretty cool.
