So I'm looking for a little advice about climbing buddies.
How does one seduce a climbing buddy?
I don't mean getting out on the first date, I mean the second, the third, etc...
Do I wait three days to call after our first day trip?
When does being patient look like lack of ambition to the other person?
When does asking to go out climbing become annoying nagging?
And how long SHOULD one wait for a ping? Or does the fact that I don't get a ping means that I lose in the game of climbing partners?
I'm all flustered here waiting for the phone to ring, and I don't know any of the standard rules...
what if I become a blond, would that help?
Heh - flame away...
thanks!

Go sit on his lap. That generally sends the message.
In all seriousness, most guys appreciate the direct approach.
You should also be fully prepared to lose a climbing partner should the feelings not be mutual.

Oral sex and deleting things from a public site that make you seem crazy.

Gonna have to agree with that. If he ever finds out about this post, it's over.

Agreed. Sit in his lap, tell him you wanna make out...whatever. I think the best offer I ever had was "where you sleeping tonight?...wanna sleep with me?"
Climbing is dominated by dudes, and if he's too daft to respond to a cutie hitting on him, then fuck it. Other fish in the sea.

I always found that the appropriate warm weather climbing top got the "word" across if there was any interest from either side :)
Simple and direct. Easy to excuse if anyone decides to change their mind.

One or more, it's win-win.
I see she hasn't responded to me; now she's playing hard to get. It appears the tables have turned...

How do you know it's a 'he' and how do you know there's just one?
I've been told that it's good to have a few partners for climbing and after an erk experience with my partner of the past few seasons, I decided to really work on meeting more people to go climb.
But somehow the social dynamics feel a little unfamiliar, so I can only hope enough people will forgive any mis-steps I may make on the road to learning.
On the oral sex note...that brings a whole new perspective to the two man team! Or hell, even the three man team!
Cheers

Hmmm. Well, I DO feel like I climb, and I AM often looking at the views, ass and otherwise.
But I don't find that I need them all at once, at the same time, all in the same place. I haven't ever really looked for that actually, now that I think about it.
Just trying 'make friends' who also like to hang out in cool outdoor places and climb. So far, it's enough effort for me without mixing in stuff like romance and/or physical intimacy.
I don't have time to date! I'm trying to find climbing buddies!
Such dirty dirty minds. I'm trying to make new friends and the first thing you guys think of is sex!
What is this place?!
You pervs!
eh, I think partnerships of whatever kind - be it solely climbing or otherwise - if they are going to happen, will do so in their own time. Fretting over it, while passes the time while bored in front of the computer, is just a little silly.
Right back to just chillin' for now. Yes, it was a good chill pill!
Have fun out there!
cheers

I'll bite...
You're full of crap, ls. 
Do a line-for-line comparison, your original post vs. the post quoted here.
What manner of response were you expecting? I guess our interpretation of innuendo is at odds with your suggestion of it...

Yeah LS likes to write her climbing partner requests as though she's looking for luv!
Me thinks she IS looking for luv, but also a climbing partner.
YOU GO GIRL!
Oh damn I can't believe I just said that.

I'll give you a serious answer. I climb with quite a range of different people. If I am climbing locally, I call up/text local friends. Its never nagging if they are as into climbing as you are. Some times my friends and I text each other every day to plan climbing trips.
If you really annoy them, they will tell you. If this is the case, they ether don't like climbing that much, or just can't stand you. Either way, you don't want to be hanging around them any way.

SHOW HIM YOUR RACK!!! (and if it's a her then take photos)
In all seriousness, finding partners in a good climbing community generally isn't that tough. If you find people who want to climb, then they'll be equally as interested in pursuing the interest as you are. If you're finding yourself out on a limb, not knowing if the potential partner is interested or not, then you've probably stumbled on two things: either 1) they're really not climbers who are interested in climbing on a regular basis or; 2) you've got a reputation as someone to avoid as a climbing partner.
Hopefully it isn't #2, but #1 can be rather annoying over time. The trick to beating #1 is to find people who are avid climbers (i.e. - not someone who climbs every now and again, but someone climbs A LOT instead). The trick to beating #2 is, well, proving that you're worthy.

Just flash that pretty smile at him or her, be honest, and keep that upbeat attitude and I imagine that you'll get whatever you want (seduction for climbing partner or more) fast.

Your problem is you went on a day trip.
Two people + opposite sex + camping + booze = fun times

You know, I was being narrow-minded in the opposite sex thing.
