After having worked with you and your friend personally not so long ago in Germany I urge you to not give up yet. Please take this as constructive, you need a lot more climbing experience. You're not at a level where you could be used as a subbie first climber but you have the basics and (from what I gathered) enthusiasm and that's important. From what I understand your friend is climbing regularly here, I'm not sure why you left? I'm thinking about asking to get in with that company too, (not wanting to mention names) they have good work and it would have been a great opportunity to bring your climbing on.
You've got my number I think, if I can help at all give us a shout.
Jonny.
