Hi,
I am just moving to Geneva from Prague. I have been rock climbing around here this summer mostly 5-6 range and I want to keep the momentum. I am also looking for a climbing partner, but I won't be able to show you around. I hope to explore the French  crags near Geneva, and I can do my research about those, there is quite good information on the web, tips for guidebooks etc.

 hi yanna.  great - let's explore together.  i'm off to brazil tomorrow but back
on the 10th.  are you already in gva?  a couple of people have already replied to
me via personal message, so maybe they can show the two of us around.

 Super! I actually arrive to Geneva on the 9th. I am free next weekend, so I am up for exploring. Thats great you already got a couple of replies. I just came back from climbing today, wanna to do as much as possible while weather is good...

 great - welcome to geneva! 
i just tried for 10 minutes to figure out how to send a group message to you and others who replied to me by personal message - with no success, alas.  so, to those of you who are still following this post, let's try to figure something out this weekend, perhaps?

 Hi,

I'm also desperately looking for climbing partners, while hiking around I found a lot of nice spots.  I haven't been really climbing since I left Germany two years ago so I'd say my level shoudl be around 5/6 now.

Cheers,
Claire

 hey!  thanks for the reply.  would love to meet up for some climbing.  let me know when you're free.

 Sweet! I'd say let's do something this sunday. I heard that Saleve up to 7b is pretty polished, so it would be better to try France. I have a 50m rope, dunno if that's enough for the Chamonix routes. Does any of you have a car - that would make things easier.I heard about a cliff with fairly easy routes about 45mins from here, lemme get the details. stay tuned,
Jana

Jana B, Sep 11, 2009 @ 16:53

 I've got a 90 m rope and quick-draws although I've only led a 5c before. The Saleve is closest and I have maps of the routes, there are some (but not many) fairly easy. St Cergue, in Vaud,  is also not too far. Check out>

I'm free Saturday mainly.

 I am afraid we dont have time to pull together a plan for tomorrow. I could go in the afternoon though. St.cergue looks good by the description-we'd probably need to have a guidebook, there is no map of the route. I have also led 5, 5+, I'm mainly looking to get outside, not for a huge challenge.
Jana B, Sep 11, 2009 @ 20:02

 i'm available sat afternoon and all day sunday -- i don't have a car, unfortunately.
 anything within cycling distance?  same here for me on the big challenge --
haven't climbed in 3 years, so i'm definitely for taking it easy.  would just like to get some
fresh air and check out the hills.

Bit of a random idea ... but ... if anyway fancied it tomorrow (Sunday September 13), there is a quite large outside climbing wall (i.e. a rock face with routes laid out) in Chamonix.  Its only 45 mins away.  Shops will be open there on Sunday also, so picking up extra stuff etc will be easy.  Quite happy to drive.  If I broke my normal rule and got up before midday on Sunday ;-) ... and left at a "reasonably early hour" (i.e. like 10am) ... there is plenty of walking there also, with some fantastic views on the Mont Blanc.  Lemme know.  I'll be on-line later tonight and will send messages to anyone on this post that's interested.  - Kevin.

  hey kevin,
sounds good.  i'm game.  i'll bring all my gear - hopefully
that will be sufficient.  my number: 78.872.56.68.  can you call or sms later
tonite/tomorrow am to confirm it's on?

chanimal, Sep 12, 2009 @ 20:41

 Hi! I'm game too, though I went indoor climbing today and my hands are still aching. so I wouldnt be against hiking and getting the views too. Im actually on the way to France, i.e. Rue Moise Duboule, would you mind picking me up on the way, Sandokan?

Jana B, Sep 12, 2009 @ 20:52

 I was out of Geneva, it seems like I missed some activities...  Who wants to go next week-end?
I have a car.

Cheers,
Claire
Claire_T, Sep 14, 2009 @ 10:49

 Yeah, you missed out, Chamonix was great! I'm tossing up the idea of going to Annecy,about to contact some local outdoorsy folks, lemme see how it plays out...

Jana B, Sep 14, 2009 @ 21:29

 hi claire - yes, definitely up for checking out some crags this weekend.  also plan
on doing some indoor climbing this week (tues or thurs) in town after work.  let me know
if you're interested.
chan
chanimal, Sep 15, 2009 @ 00:04

hey chan and others climbers,

i'm new in geneva as well - actually i don't live exactly in geneva but close to nyon and am looking for climbing partners for outdoor or even indoor (during the week). have my full gear here as well (60 m rope). do not know any spot so am open for everything :-)  climb around up to 6a but am as well easy going. just let me know if you're interested - 079/5464058 would be great.
see you soon?
dana

Dana C, Sep 16, 2009 @ 21:36

hi dana.  welcome to geneva!  i think there may be plans to do some indoor
climbing tomorrow (thurs) and i would definitely be interested in doing something over the
weekend.  
could people who are generally interested send me a
personal message with your e-mail addresses?  it's much easier to reply by email rather
than through glocals.  i'll copy everyone who's interested so that we can get a regular
group together.

 Hi all,

I have been in Switzerland for a long time now, and I know quite a few spots around Geneva and Lausanne.
My usual cimbing partners are not always available so I would be happy to go out with anybody  willing to go for some climbing. I am also planning on training indoors this winter so if anybody would like to join...  I climb in the 6th grade and happy to climb with anyone in the 5 or 6.
Just drop me a message with your email (i don't connect to glocals very often) and and we can organise something.

Cheers!
