Climbers<\/a> are a special breed<\/a>. Below, writer Kevin Corrigan has imagined a lineup of classified advertisements suited for a life spent on the crag.<\/p>\n

Roommate Wanted<\/h2>\n

Seeking roommate for cozy dwelling. Climber preferred: Home often moves between Smith Rock, Yosemite, J-Tree, Red Rock, and City of Rocks. The home is mobile, but it\u2019s not a \u201cmobile home.\u201d Enjoy waking up to 360-degree mountain (or sometimes Walmart or rest-area) views with wraparound windows and a skylight. Usable space measures roughly 66 cubic feet when seats are folded down. Good hygiene is a must as we\u2019ll be living close together, but note that rent does not include a 24 Hour Fitness membership for showering. We will share the bed, though some form of cardboard divider could be erected for an additional charge. Just to be clear, it\u2019s a 1998 Toyota 4Runner. Rent is $600 a month (does not include utilities: gas, car insurance).<\/p>\n

For Sale<\/h2>\n

Offwidth rack, used once. $1,500 OBO.<\/em><\/p>\n

Seeking Employment<\/h2>\n

Skilled programmer searching for work. Remote must be OK. Can be available M\u2013F 8\u20135 on days when temps aren\u2019t good. Full benefits, large salary (100-plus K), and minimal responsibility preferred. Actually, it\u2019s best if you just send me the work and I\u2019ll get to it when I get to it. I\u2019ve been hangboarding a lot so I feel strong, and condies are Splitter in the Red right now, so TBH my availability is pretty minimal. If you pay me now, and then I\u2019ll owe you a bunch of work when the season winds down, that would be chill. DM if interested: @sprinterdave5.14<\/em><\/p>\n

Lost<\/h2>\n

I can\u2019t find my bed. It\u2019s an Organic Big Five Pad, neon green with pink and blaze-orange accents. I accidentally mixed it up with the Big Five Pad I boulder with, and then forgot it in Bishop, Hueco, Joe\u2019s, or Moe\u2019s\u2014I don\u2019t remember where. So now I have a bouldering pad but no bed. I\u2019d sleep on the bouldering pad, but it\u2019s pretty dirty and I need it for bouldering. Reward: Ten spots.<\/p>\n

Services<\/h2>\n

Professional ropegun for hire<\/h4>\n

I am very good at rock climbing, and I will lead any route of your choice and hang the rope\u2014for a price (my base rate is $100 per pitch, moving up to $500 depending on difficulty and seriousness). I will then belay you on the route for as long as you want. Other options: We can choose a large objective to climb together, or I can spend a day teaching you technical skills. For insurance reasons, I am not a \u201cclimbing guide\u201d but merely a \u201cclimbing friend\u201d\u2014 please remember that if you get injured and decide to contact a lawyer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Missed Connection<\/h2>\n

I saw you running laps on the autobelay, a yellow Reverso dangling from your gear loop. I read your message loud and clear:<\/em> You\u2019re looking for a belayer. I would\u2019ve said \u201cHi,\u201d but you left before I could finish my 4x4s in the bouldering cave. I recently got out of a bad belaytionship\u2014my former partner said some very hurtful things to me when she regained consciousness after I dropped her\u2014but I believe I am ready to re-enter the belaying scene. We can be casual at first, just trading belays at the gym when we run into each other, but I am looking for something that will lead to bigger things: outdoor sport projects or even hours-long big-wall aid leads if you\u2019re \u201cthe one.\u201d CALL JENNY: 867-5309.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
