I just recently found out more people actually climb on TeamLiquid. This thread is for anyone who climbs. Bouldering, Sport, Trad, Multi-pitch, doesn't matter. Discuss anything about climbing~~
Maybe you can found a climbing partner near you. Sign up to be on the list. Climbers: + Show Spoiler +

0x64 - Tampere, Finland / Fontainebleau, France Current level 4-5
Practicing for a month after 15 years pause.
Bonus: Parents living in the Mecca of bouldering, near Fontainebleau. Awesome opportunities to practice on holidays. Fontainebleau rating is quite harder. When I pass a 5, in bleau I struggle to pass a 3.
I don't know what level my climbing is at, since I don't really care, but it sure is fun. Apparently, I'm pretty good at it, but I don't do it to compete.
Great sport. Excellent exercise, and quite thrilling the higher up you get.

I only started climbing a few months ago (July), but it seems my circus experience (flying & swinging trapeze, tumbling, russian bar, etc..) gives me a big headstart. Mostly bouldering v4-v6, and a bit of sport climbing at 5.11c/d. I climb indoors most of the time as I don't have a car to get around, but every once in awhile I do some bouldering outdoors in San Francisco.
I live in the East Bay Area, specifically Emeryville (same town as some of the EG guys moved to recently, maybe they'll start climbing). I climb indoors at Berkeley Ironworks every Tuesday and Thursday, and I try to make it down to Dogpatch Boulders on Sundays (amazing indoor bouldering only gym in the Dogpatch District in SF, just half a block away from where LANHammer was hosted).
If more people in the Bay Area are interested in climbing I'd love to organize a get-together for a day of climbing with fellow gamers.
Sweet, thanks for the thread and the heads-up, Epoxide.
I'm in Seattle, WA, USA. Just moved here, though, and haven't settled into a new climbing routine. Getting on that as soon as I have a job to pay for it .
I do mostly sport climbing, mostly topping out around 5.11b/c, with occasional forays into the 5.12a/b range if I can find a nice piece of slab (so I guess like 7a is my level on the EU scales?). I've been pretty lazy the last 6 months or so though, so I'm probably climbing below that level now.
Philippines Level? idk, I haven't gauged myself yet I focus mostly on bouldering at our legendary House of Pain! + Show Spoiler +
thanks for the thread
for something to talk about

No location ?
Oh, I'm on Toronto's East End. Whatever the lowest ranking is, you can put that for me
Currently in NJ, climbing at Doylestown Rock Gym. Look for the kid with a TL logo on his water bottle. I mostly boulder, but I know how to belay for top rope. I would love to have more experience outdoors, but I have no gear, and would also love to learn how to lead climb.
San Francisco, California (specifically dogpatch/mission cliffs). I climb around v5-v6, my co-founder ( https://sensortower.com ) climbs v6-v7. Lead 5.11s-early 5.12 I think that's around 7a~b in eurospeak! Feel free to ping me !
It's a wild shot but if any of you guys happen to be in the Czech Republic and you're into outdoor boulder/climbing, I'll be happy to guide you around since I've been to a few places. We'll be drinking pilsner while watching some old BW by the campfire. Homo is expected but keep it for the players/commentators/bunkie only.
So.. Czech Republic, lame outdoor boulder/climbing + outdoor broodbar. without the bar

Sweet, I just moved to the SF bay and boulder at Dogpatch most days! Should say hi!
I've bouldered consistent V8 in shape, but am in V6-V7 territory right now after being pretty sick for a while. Girlfriend also boulders with me, she's V4-V5.
If you see a 6ft white dude with a shaved head climbing with red shoes just inconspicuously say "TL" in a loud voice and see if I react :D
