I'd love to fill my friends list with some like minded cragsters! Only getting back into it, but I'm looking to grow :)

    That's awesome, I've been trying to boulder more myself. what grade are you working on? I've gotten lucky on a few v4s but that's my goal for the summer.

    yes, although more indoors than anything else just now :/ I'm also recovering form a knee injury so I've haven't been able to for the last few months. The original injury wasn't climbing related but I've managed to aggravate it a few times...

    Late to the party, but I just started bouldering at a gym! I went once with my roommate and was hooked. Now I go more than her. I'm excited to improve this summer, and would love some climbers on my FL!

    Did a 14er last fall and hopefully I'll get to do 2 more this year.

    I just do class 3 and some class 4 stuff. I doubt I'll venture into the class 5 zone anytime. It's easy enough to kill yourself on a class 4 so I'm sticking to 3s and 4s. Someone died on this same climb last week.

    The week before another kid spent the night on a ledge at 13,000 feet after he got stuck with no gear.

    EDIT: Here's a video I took last fall of The Ledges. Skip to about 7:00 into the video. This is about the area the guy fell off last week. (8:00 mark I said "That was pretty sketchy".)
