Name:Lynnell
Age:31
Location: NY, Long Island

I'm a newbie, so I'm climbing indoors. But, this August I'll be heading to the Gunks for the 1st time! I'm incredibly excited. My ultimate goal is to meet some people and eventually do big wall climbing.



fav. food: ITALIAN/Japanese
level (lead climbed):beginner, but I'm strong and learn really fast
gear (basic, some, full rack and rope):just the basics, harness, ATC, beaners...chalk..BLAH..

weird fact about yourself: I'm a total adrenaline junky! I love speed and acceleration, which is why I love sportbike racing, 600cc. It's only an odd fact because I use to be a professional ballerina. Most people seem to think the two things don't mix.

If you're free and wana climb, lemme know! I climb about 3-4 times a week.

random comment: I've been climbing for 7 months now, so when the initials "DK" are uber famous and I've written a dozen books about climbing, you'll all be able to say you read my first RC.com post here (if you believe that, I have some great ocean front property in North Dakota you'll be interested in too)

P.S. Jeff Wagner is STILL a bastard for making me climb Mamallary Magic (10a) as my very first outdoor route. I thumb my nose at you, sir! :D

I've been climbing for almost a year now. I'm fond of both indoor and outdoor climbing. Indoor's fun, but you just don't get that same satisfaction as when you climb outdoors. Just started leading a couple months ago.

Chris
28
Living in Bend, OR until Wednesay and then heading to New England
Indoor or outdoor. Of course I prefer outdoor, but there is good fun to be had on plastic.

I clip bolts and place gear.

I've lead as hard as 11d (haven't pointed this grade yet)
Lead trad at 10a...with apprehension, but I'm learning to nut up and deal.

I've got a 70 meter rope 10.5 (I consider a necessity), a 60 meter 9.7 rope, two dozen draws, a bunch of stoppers, for tricams, doubles of BD cams from .75 to two inches, one #3 and #4, one .5 and one metolius #1-#3, blah, blah, blah....I have a shit ton of gear

Sushi, tempura fried green tea icecream and big honkin' burritos.
Don't spend too much time on the internet...recently just this site

I think bouldering is boring...except on plastic...
...shit, I forgot the rack.
