I am planning a 2-3 month trip to N America this summer (2002) and would like to spend most of it climbing multi-pitch trad climbs. Yosemite and various locations in the Rockies are my preferred venues. How can I best find partners?

- I note the previous answer suggesting hanging out at camp 4 (Yosemite) - where is this?

[I climb to Scottish VS and HVS as leader and second to E3 - I think this equals 5.8 to 5.11]
