>>1936981>TFW no climbing partnerI used to climb, I loved it, had a climbing partner that I knew well and trusted, but then we both moved and lost touch. He was gay and I am straight and not his type so it worked out great.
Back then I was dating a girl who's dad and step father were climbing partners and quite well known climbers in the town, however her dad had been killed in a fall when she was 12. Within a year her dad's climbing partner became her stepdad, and she told me that she always thought that he got her dad killed on purpose.
When my gay buddy and I were climbing it was great, but since we split I have had the fear.
I stopped climbing a few years ago when my last climbing buddies GF started calling me, and wanting to hang out just the 2 of us. I saw the makings of a triangle and things were getting tense between my buddy and I. We talked it out, they broke up, we are still friends but I haven't climbed with him since.
How do you find someone you can trust?
