Hello,

Will be over in CA in march and looking for some climbing buddies. Will be in Joshua Tree for a couple days, March 4-5, and then staying less than a mile away from Stoney Point, LA from 11-19th March. I prefer trad but know that there is mostly sport and bouldering. Happy to climb whatever, just want to climb...

Thanks for the replies! I'll have a look at the Mountain Project site.

Levy, thanks for sending a message but I'm not sure where it's gone... I'm new here on Supertopo so not sure where to look for messages.

He may be a kook, but he is one of the best climbers around.

How many good climbers aren't kooks?

He sent me a bunch of looney tune emails awhile ago ranting about some such nonsense.

I asked him to stop but he wouldn't so I had to block him = Kook

I've known Levy for years. Great guy, good friend. I don't know what's up with those emails Pud. Makes me wonder what he's responding to.

Whatever... peace.

He was responding to me telling him to f*#k off.
I would say that to his face.
I'm doubt he would say the things he wrote to me in person.
Seems rather cowardly.

Sounds like he has a lot of good friends here.
That's cool.
The emails were dated 8/11.
Maybe he now has control of his attitude. That's a good thing.

A lot of people talk sh#t on this forum as we all know.
When someone emails you and talks sh#t it's a little more personal.

I refrain from name calling on this forum or saying things I would not say in person.
This seems like the right thing to do.

Back to the OP...

Sam E is a hard climber and safe partner and knows Stoney (and Jtree) very well.

You can find partners on bulletin boards at Nomad Ventures in the town of Joshua Tree or better yet on the bulletin boards of Hidden Valley Campground 13 miles inside the park from the West Entrance.

Good luck!

"Pud" was the nickname of my next door neighbor when I was a teenager. A friend, an excellent surfer and all around good guy that died way too young.

Lizzie, you can write to me at lunarlevy@gmail.com.

I live near Chatsworth in Calabasas and have the low down on the local climbing scene. I assure you you will have fun.


Pud - you are so utterly insignificant I completely forgot about you. You're bringing up stuff from years ago when I posted a photo after a bad motorcycle accident. That had to be 4 or 5 years ago. Get over it. Move on and try to be positive if you can.

Lizzie, if the drama of finding a climbing partner on this site is too much you can climb with me, a retired Canadian who spends the winters climbing in JTNP, with Todd Gordon. Text or phone me. six 0 four ate o two 5951.
You couldn't do better than having Todd to show you around.

Perfect example why I rarely frequent this site anymore. Any thread or inquiry can and will quickly devolve into personal attacks or other nonsense.

For what it is worth, Levy is a super competent and experienced climber and a good guy to boot.

And, while handing out endorsements, Todd Gordon is the one of the best human beings on the planet, and knows Joshua Tree better than anyone. You'll have a blast climbing with Todd, and anyone would be honored to call him a friend.

Exactly.

Levy (bill?) sent me an email full of slander. Not man enough to say it in person. He simply identified his true self by doing so.

You guys can give him all the man love you want but he's a coward and I will say that to his face anyday.

Wow a bit of boy drama on here..I just want to climb.....

I can't comment on who is or is not a kook but I don't care what you do in your own time. If you're happy to get some interesting climbing in and willing to take a bit of a newbie on I'm there!

Boy drama? Pfft. My very first JT trip had us pull in to the lot and as we were necking around looking at the various lines and climbing potential in wonder and excitement, right there witnessed some jackass draw a gun on another jackass @30 feet away and then they started yelling at each other. I've drawn down on dudes before, and they always do what ya tell them, but what I found both fascinating and unnerving is that the unarmed fella was screaming at the top of his voice: "GO AHEAD AND SHOOT YA PUSSY", then he'd take a step forward, the guy with the gun would back up and yell, GET BACK MOTHERF*#KR OR I'LL SHOOT YA or some such and the other shithead would then scream "GO AHEAD AND SHOOT YA PUSSY" again. It was on repeat cycle. From my perspective, I was surprised the the as#@&%e with the gun didn't pull the trigger. I was also considering the point of aim and hoping it didn't change as it was away from us. I didn't get any names although it's possible that one or both of them are currently posting on this thread.

So, my point is this: have fun!

Lizzie welcome to Supertopo! Its like being the new kid at school for a while. We got all kinds. Cool kids, wierdos, bullies, teachers, students, stoners, sportos, drama queens, Young Republicans, Old bitter Democrats, posers, legends and everything in between. I'd say 80% of the posters here are normal folks and the other 20% are downright certifiable.

I hope you find a good partner! I personally have climbed with over a dozen Supertopoans and have met some fantastic friends. Enjoy the Trip Reports, avoid the political threads (its pretty much the same ten dudes bickering back and forth all day) and share the stoke when you report back after an adventure.

Welcome!
