Name: Jason
Age: 31
Location: Batavia, NY (about halfway betweein Buffalo and Rochester)
indoor, outdoor or both: indoor until I can find a partner. I'm sort of new to the area and I don't really what's around. I'm hoping to find a partner or two (or twelve) on here...
do_______ (yes/no): you mean, like, with mousse and stuff? :)
Trad: In the past when I lived in MN. Not for quite a while now though...
Sport: Yup, but again it's been a while...
Aid: Seems a little tricky; maybe some day :)
fav. food: I'll forgo the "ham sammiches" for now and go with really good sushi
level (lead climbed): At my best several years ago, most 5.9's I attempted and one or two 5.10's. Now I've been indoors until I can find a partner so I won't even bother with how I totally sent that sick red route.
gear (basic, some, full rack and rope): Pretty remedial at the moment. Sold the rack years ago, kept the harness and the ATC. I have two pairs of shoes though so I must be just about ready to send that sick 5.13d finger crack I saw...
fav. website: www.junctionfive.net or custompendesigns.com
