Name: Letsroll
Location: Portland, OR
indoor, outdoor or both
do_______ (yes/no): Both in and out. Get out when ever possible, just about everyweekend.
Trad: Yes cause it takes larger balls and alpine requirement
Sport: will do it to get better for trad
Aid: going to do my first bolted route this weekend at smith
fav. food:beer and nachos after climbing
level (lead climbed): Sport up to 5.10 (still kinda sketchy), Trad up to 5.9 ( will take but fumble through the cruxes, getting better.)
gear (basic, some, full rack and rope): Almost a full rack. Still getting all the cams that I think I will need.
fav. website: This one is getting higher on the list (seems best source for more advanced info), and I hate to say it cc.com (more local route info).
weird fact about yourself: If there is a way to make the route harder, I will most likely unknowingly make that move.
random comment: I am really starting to like trad and god forbid I am seeing myself getting into the aid game. Damn, Damn, Damn, when will the need for gear stop. Come on lottery... :roll:

ok, I'm TalNLnky..... short for Tall and Lanky.
Been snooping around here for the past 3 weeks and finally decided to join up.
Male, Age 23, 6'4" 180, Born and raised in Spokane, WA
Sport & bouldering right now, still have very little gear
Both indoor and outdoor, but i don't have any of the gear needed for outdoors (ropes & draws).
My next toy i'd like to buy is a crashpad followed by a hangboard & some holds.
Been climbing for 6-7months now with my partner who's climbed for 10yrs.
other people i've climb with i'm met through my friend, thus they are also incredibly strong and have been climbing for 5-15 years.

Hello all,
The names Justin, I'm an Infant to the field but have always wanted to learn how to climb and am looking for guidance/advice as to where I should begin.
I've thought about indoor such as a Lifetime Fitness or some sort but thought outdoor lessons might be better as that is what I am shooting for anyway.
I'm a little south of the metro (Minnesota). Does anyone know of any good instructors that arn't to pricey, starting points and so forth. Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Justin
