looking for climbing partner

[climberchic]

Hello!
I am an american traveling alone in Europe. But I have brought along my climbing shoes as I was hoping to have climbing opportunities along the way. So I have found my way into this website, hopefully successfully, without knowing any Swedish. Thank god for online language dictionaries.
Is there anyone in Stockholm who would be interested in climbing? I have been told about an indoor gym called klätterverket which I hope to find. But once I get there I still will not know anyone, but I plan to boulder and then maybe meet some boulders who may be willing to climb. I was in Norway just last week. I wandered into a climbing store in Trondheim hoping to find a climbing partner. And lucky me, the owner of the store offered to climb with me. So in a couple weeks I will meet friends from the States in the Alps where we will do some sport climbing.
But allow me to tell more about myself. I am 5'5, female, in good shape , climbing in the 5.10's ( this is the Yosemite rating system; I don't know the rating system here in Sweden), I lead climb as well. So PLEASE anyone interested please email me at kreghon@yahoo.com. My name is Kathleen. THANKS in advance, or should I say TACK!!!

Skål,
Kathleen

Ratings and Partners

Kathleen,

If you pass Nyköping I will be happy to climb with you in Tunaberg, the best crackclimbing area around Stockholm, but that is pretty far away (about 50 miles). If you really want to get some quality climbing you should go west (as in the US ;-). Gothenburg and north of Gothenburg has the absolute best climbing in Sweden, as a 5.10 climber you will be able to do most of the classic lines. Bohuslän i truly the Yosemite of Sweden.

When it comes to grades it is fairly easy. If you climb 5.10a-b in Yosemite, you will manage any swedish climb within grade 6 (6-/6/6+). If you have your ratings from an easier graded area, maybe you should go for the 6- routes first. If you climb 5.10c-d you can go for 7- routes in most places in sweden.

I would say that beeing a 5.10 climbing female would render you a good chance to find a climbingpartner at klätterverket any day. Since the summer sucks pretty bad this year I think there will be quite a lot of people there even on a weekday.

Happy climbing!
