How to Find Climbing Partners
Finding the Perfect Climbing Partner: More Than Just a Belayer Finding a climbing partner is about much more than simply having someone to belay for you—it's about building trust, camaraderie, and a shared passion for the sport. My first climbing partner, whom I met through a class at Brooklyn Boulders, became a reliable companion for my early experiences. She was attentive and receptive, but as we navigated our schedules, I realized the challenge of finding additional like-minded climbers in my area.

Camping and Climbing at Greyrock
Greyrock is an obscure peak for climbing, but it is one of the more well-known hikes in the Northern Colorado area. It might be obscure, but this area has over 100 routes of great granite climbing. There is everything from slab, cracks from fingers to off-width, and moderate multi-pitch routes. The trail sees a lot of traffic during nice weather, but I have yet to run into any other climbers. The effort to reach this peak is out of the question for a lot of climbers who enjoy short approaches. For many climbers, being able to camp here makes the hike in worth it.
