Recently divorced and working on picking up some new activities around town. I would love to start climbing at Cirque and was wondering if anyone needed a climbing friend? I'm mostly interested in the bouldering wall and have only gone once a few years ago.
If anyone knows of a good community to join as well that would be awesome!

You’re welcome with or without a climbing buddy. The best way to find a buddy who climbs is to find them at the climbing gym. Feel free to pm if you need wing man support, tho.

You can also do autobelay until you get a partner.

you should def just go to cirque and start climbing by yourself. i started out going alone and met somebody naturally who i go with often. also, cirque has a few “group” nights. i would attend one for sure to make buds

I’d be down to go with you if you’re interested in a climbing friend. I’ve never been and been toying with the idea for months now 😅

cirque is chill and everyone is very friendly, just show up regularly and you'll make friends. they have periodic classes that i think are oriented for beginners. the nice thing about bouldering is that you don't need a partner, so only you can make excuses to not show up :)
i've been going there since i moved to oly a few years ago and only recently made an effort to talk to people more...it definitely helps when you have a set schedule and end up seeing the same people regularly.
