Looking for at least one person to split gas with and be a co-pilot/partner.

Leave PDX: November 19th and drive to ice, most likely bozeman, spend a couple days there swinging tools. Leave Bozeman around November 22nd/23rd. Drive to Indian Creek stay down there for crack and turkey!

Additional Details: I have places to stay in Bozeman, a reliable car, and all the gear. In the creek I plan on climbing with my buddies but it is total group dirtbag style. In Bozeman, I get to call the shots( pick the routes) as I consider myself more knowledgable than you.

Me: going anyways but figure the drive is better with a second and cheaper

You: must be able to follow WI5 (if you have never tried I think that anyone that can lead 5.10 trad has the stamina to follow WI5) and at least lead one WI4 pitch, leading 5.10 trad would be a plus, I am not looking for a belay, more a partner but, if your new, and strong, then send me a PM and maybe this would be a killer trip for you.

Going to be a killer trip: applications and resumes now being accepted.
email or PM

wow....its a pretty generous offer, why all the spray? I mean i am pretty much saying: lets go to bozeman and go climb zak attack or mummyIV and all you got to do it belay and follow, I mean if you want to swap leads, f*#k yeah, I would be stoked, but the probability of another solid WI climber responding is slim. I guess I should ask for gumbies and beginners to go climb big committing ice routes and hard desert cracks?

no big deal didn't figure the taco would come through, most the time it seems you guys spend more time spraying less time climbing. worth a shot and hell I have met some cool guys like kevin, josh, and mike all on here. all of these guys enjoy a different type of climbing than the others and I still had a hella of a time.

Sorry for the dig bickel! Lesson learned though-internets doesn't always come through with the best partners.
Don't let his invitation deter you- bschmitz is a rad partner and an even better dirtbag. I'm psyched to have shared a rope with him and only wish I could've more.

Knocked out some big lines here in cali in a very short period of time.

Mucci:
My fishing trip was pretty killer, send me an email with your address and I will shoot some smoked fish on down your way! Hope the CaliforniaWay is treating you well.

Sounds like a good window of time Byran!

You talk to the usual suspects here in Boze?

Hit me up if you wanna throw some bouldering in the mix when you're in town...
