• Lover's Leap
  

• I'm looking for partners for Spring Quarter 2007 to come with me to Lover's Leap for long weekend trips. I don't have class Friday and I intend to take advantage of this. I have a rack and ropes, but only a city car. I've only led minimal trad, so would be looking for someone more experienced than I — but I can follow up to easy 10s. I want to start out on the Hogsback and then the main wall. I've followed on the main wall on two occasions already. Contact me if you are free Spring Fridays. -TomAbeles
