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 weird fact about yourself: I'm a drummer, a respiratory therapist, and I make wood pens random comment: WTF?!?!?
