It used to happen all the time, might still happen, but people would roll into Yosemite and post a "partner wanted" sign in Camp 4, and more times then not find a partner. Post a such sign at the local campground entrance. Do a couple easy routes to suss out each others abilities and competency before going big. Last thing you want to find out is your new partner has never belayed a leader as you rip off a long run out.
I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...iscariot
