looking for serious partner to train for climbing big wall in june or september. The level need for the nose in yosemite is 5.9 A2. So, you can want or lead at least 5.9 on route longer than 2 long pitch (200 feet and more). It is better if we can train at least ounce every three week end. I climb mostly at north conway, but can travel to the gunks or the dack.

What do you have in mind for "training"

personnal training is climbing at my higher level and endurance training. It can be done with different partner without proving to each other that we can make the route, We can not improve our style in three or four month.

team training is more boring, but necesary. speed; racking; communication; aid climbing, french technique and free climbing transition; ethic; hauling; rope management; camp setting; stress reaction; pendulum; tension traverse; rap, etc.

Of course, training is to know each other and help the other to make a strong team. We can find some route to specifically test our skill...and have trouble. I am not looking to climb an hard route (but it can be), but to find solution rapidly at a technical problem. I prefer to bail from cathedral, shouting at every body, than to be kind all the time and not able to summit. It is serious and fun. For example, the right to left girdle traverse with and haul bag at cathedral could be a good training.
