Looking for a partner interested in doing west face of leaning tower in 1 or 2 days. Alternatively the prow in two days or south face on the column in two days.
I'm not sure how late we can climb this year but I'm free anytime after Nov 10th. Or early spring. Let's chat and go from there.

Yeah, with this being your only post on ST and no other info, most of the monkey's you'd actually want to climb with are going to pass.

Maybe up for it with a little more personal info. Have you ever climbed a wall? Any aid experience at all? Ever hauled?

OP posts partner request with no info then doesn't bother to return to orig request. Me thinks this would be a sh*tshow of a time out on the wall should anyone take him/her up on it.

Lead aiding ability or just seconding? Why bailed on Nose and Freeblast?

My spotting is great Dingus, already weeded out a few who were "interested" but not enough to actually do any work on their own.
This dude/chick looks to have some experience and their desired walls are easy weekend jaunts so yeah, I'm willing to take him/her up on it.
Follow-up questions because even though this person has some experience, their inability (or unwillingness) to understand that they're basically giving no information before hoping someone is going to waste precious weekend warrior time on them is concerning at best.
Would I climb with someone, yup. Would I climb with someone who doesn't bother to do the minimum of leg work to help out the person they're asking trust and effort from? Not likely, but you never know, hence the interview.
Besides, OP did say "Let's chat"

Munge why the follow up questions? Do the interviewers intend to make an offer? How many other internet strangers have they interviewed? What's their troll spotting accuracy?
Mine is about bumping the thread.
Who is 'they'
I've highlighted several original post troll posts in the past. Some turn out to be real people posting very limited info (see j-tree post).
Why are you asking me so many questions?
I'm innocent, I tell you.
I'm not a number!!! I am a free man!!!

Thanks for the responses. I came to SuperTopo because I thought that's where the cool big wall guys hang out. Glad to get a response from a potential partner. I'm certainly fine with traveling to meet and hang out before heading up a wall, we should chat and see what works best for you. I'm out of the country Oct24 - Nov6 but I can travel anytime after to meet. I have had a previous successful experience meeting a forum member and climbed Spaceshot with them years past, figured I would try it again.
To answer a few questions, neither situation were bails on El Cap, I only had a day of water each time was just having fun. Bailed my first time on Moonlight but finished it twice thereafter, led every pitch. Led all the walls on my list. Looking to find a partner to swap leads.
Shoot me a text I posted my number above, or you can email or direct message me on here.
