Description
I am an American solo traveling climber. I have a T3 VW bus outfitted and am currently in the Swiss Alps. I have room for one other climber to sleep in the bus, two more in a tent (4 total including me).
I want to focus on granite and gneiss trad multipitch and bolted sport single/multi too, in CH and FR until the cold comes in mid Sept. After, either the Mediterranean or Balkans. I have plenty of sport experience but limited trad (yet a full rack of nuts and cams on hand).
I've spent a lot of money on this Bus and my trip. My goals are climbing. NOT cafe's, town strolls, gelati, shopping, etc. I wait out the rain beside the crag for a chance to climb patiently, not waste fuel running from boredom. I sleep on layby's or wherever the campervan life suits me. Free. I don't pay another man to sleep in my own van, so I don't do campgrounds. Those who have this goal who can share fuel and stick with climbing focused living, please join me for as long as you like.
Email me.

| Beau,
I am in Germany. I am suddenly available to from 7 Sept (ish) until 24 Sept at which point I have to be in Provence (near Cannes). This was not planned and therefore I don't have gear other than my harness and shoes. I don't have any alpine stuff on hand so was just hoping to hit the south of France limestone. Sounds like you're there now. I haven't climbed outside since last summer. Long year. So only looking to do moderates and get back into the swing of things. Will you still be in the region? | Posted Aug 31, 2014 9:19 pm |
