Thanks, Brian. I climb solo out of desperation, not necessarily by preference. I recognize that it's not the safest way to climb, but there are very few climbers in the area. I'm trying to change that though - starting with my 12 year old son and 9 year old daughter who do climb with me fairly often. The only adult I've ever climbed with was from Ohio - Duane Hook, who is a fellow ENTS member.
