After such a great partner experience last year, I cant help but hope that I am so lucky again this year!
I have been visiting Yos each year for the last 6 or 7 years, mostly climbing with my wife, and thus without the need to find partners.
A few Facelifts ago I met up with a group of the ST regulars (Mighty, Ed, Nature, Crimper, Khanom, Prod et al.) and had my first taste of the cool people and partners that can be found in the ST family.
This year I will be arriving in the valley end of next week (Friday 13th May) 3 weeks before my wife, and will be on the lookout for partners during that time.
Of course the Camp 4 board is an option, but with last year's ST-partner luck still fresh in the memory, now I just have to give it another shot!
About me: I have done a number of the longer moderates several times over the years, including EB of El Cap, EB of Middle, Kor-Beck etc. Have also spent some great days at the Cookie, Reeds, Pat and Jack, Apron etc. Have also done the Prow.
We have mainly done climbs in the 5.8 - low 5.10 range. Last year I surprised myself by following a some harder climbs at the cookie (up to mid-11) without too many problems (although the wyde is still a challenge - but I dont mind that!)
I am up for just about anything in the period 5/13 - 6/2. Would love to fill in some well-known classics I have missed to date (e.g. Serenity/Sons, NEB Higher, CPF, Braille Book), or get out in search of something more obscure. Whether single pitches or long-days, I love covering as much rock as I can in a day, and will not flake out on any plans we make. I do all the leading with my wife, so dont mind at all being belay slave/follower of your plans.
So what say you ST? Anyone out there who needs someone to tie-in with in the next few weeks? I'd love to hear from you - either here, or via the email connected with my profile. Let's have a blast!
Cheers,
Pete.

Is there no limit to the breadth of the ST resource? Now I even have some tips to pick up waitresses! Thanks Jeremy! :)
But the tall tales at the bar need some real rock adventures to feed on - lets hear from you all out there!

Hey, who wouldn't want to climb with this fine fellow, seen here at the 2007 Yosemite FaceLift with wife Sabrina and son Finn.

Wow Anders, I am impressed with your command of old photos - it would take me quite some digging to find my pics of that trip!
Finn is now a bit bigger, and obsessed with boulders. Here is a pic from today:
Hope to see you at a Facelift again soon!
Cheers
Pete.

Ha, Peter you've discovered my secret weapon. I slipped a couple of bags to Ken one or twice, and also did a couple of rounds of the campfire bearing some nice swiss chocolate at my last facelift visit.
Thanks Jeff! I will shoot you a brief email.
Would be happy to "sweeten the deal" with some fine Swiss chocolate again this trip!
