SO right now I'm pretty pissed because a week ago I had planned a climb with my friend. We talked on the phone for a while and I even took off work and didn't get my 40 hours of work in this week because I wanted to climb more. I got up super early to get ready and here I get a text from my friend saying hes hung over and can't come and climb.

Sorry I just needed to vent. i won't be climbing with him for a while.

Two options :

(1) Forget your partner and go solo.

(2) Big Bird sez he's lookin' for a partner !

I won't do multi-day trips with rhyang anymore. The llama takes up too much space in the tent.

a) you don't really get along with them

and/or

b) they are not safe enough for your own liking.

I also don't like it when people are totally unreliable for bigger trips. When I commit, I usually don't bail unless there is a good reason (weather, injury, etc.).

When would you say you'll never join a partner again?


When I have to dump my pack on a ledge, go back down, get my partner's pack and carry it up to the ledge, and then wait for my partner to climb up to the ledge where I'm sitting.

Arrogance

Arrogance in my opinion is the most dangerous thing some one can have on a mountain

Sometimes you have to unrope because you can't trust yourself. That, however, requires that you like your partner.


I think true climbing partnerships are way more intimate than marriages.
