Hi guys, I'll be heading over from WA from around Jan 9-19 next year. I've been climbing outdoors for 4 years with mostly sport experience, but am capable with trad/multipitch. I'm interested in having a crack at the totem pole as a seconder, as the highest grade I have led clean is 25. Having said that, I haven't found a 25 that I can't dog my way up on top-rope. I understand getting to the base of the tote is probably half the battle, and then finding the right line - which is why I'm looking to go with someone competent who has done it before.

I'd be looking to climb the 24/25 line/s (not too clear on these). I would be able to bring whatever gear I would need. 

Since this is a pretty serious climb I can imagine most people might not want a newbie tagging along, so my best chance of getting a look at it might be to pay a guide.

Can anyone put me in contact with potential climbers/guides for this?

Thanks in advance!

Paul

    Thanks for the link Jed. I spoke with them, I'm sure they would provide a great service - unfortunately due to their guiding requirements it would mean paying for 2 x guides for this trip, which is too pricey for just me. I'd love to hear from any individuals who have experience on the 25 line to discuss payment for their time and experience. The guy at my local gym in Perth who's climbed it reckons he'd definitely take me if I flew him over there! (big grin)
