Can I be an Amateur Activity Watcher, and hang out with the Pro? Wink

I don't know if I can go down that early, but if I could, I would only be up to hiking, not climbing.

That sounds like a great time! I would love to go, but I am pretty much out of vacation time around here. I'll still keep it in mind, just in case I get fired or some other "catastrophe" occurs.

Looks like a blast, wish I could come. I'm in the same boat as Spencer--all out of vacation time! Ya'll enjoy!

We need more climbers, and some non-climbers who just want to hike around and watch climbers climb!

Love to come, but unfortunately (or rather fortunately) my brother and I are going to be in Mallorca, Spain for a couple weeks doing some deep water soloing. Any of you watch King Lines?

Nathaniel B · Posted: Fri Jun 13, 08 4:45 pm

Yes, Hans and I saw King Lines at the Banff Film Festival last year. It was a fun movie. Chris Sharma is a great climber.

I only live 45 min from here! Where can I join a group just driving over for a day? That would be great!

Does anyone going know sign language?
Thanks,

Sounds like tons of fun, but I'm not sure that I"m going to the reunion.

Be sure to take lots of pictures! Very Happy

Great I only live about an hour from there! Yes I need to borrow ropes and equipment.... Red river gorge is awesome! My only experience is climbing without ropes there.... so it will be exciting to get experience with ropes. Have you all climbed Grays arch before?

Ryan Bruce · Posted: Sun Jun 15, 08 3:44 pm

Wow, looks like we have quite a few people interested. That's awesome.

Nathan and I will decide on a place to meetup and post it as soon as we know.

**UPDATE**

Climbing Location
We are planning on climbing in Muir Valley.
http://www.muirvalley.com/

It is on private property but is free to climb. Everyone will just need to sign a release waiver & register. (Wait to do this until it gets a bit closer)

Lodging

True North Outfitters Hostel

Hotels

Eating
Miguel's Pizza

This place is highly spoken of.

General Status Update
We are still working out lodging for ourselves, exact routes to climb, etc.

If you have any question feel free to PM me or post to this thread. This will be an awesome trip!

Wow, Ryan. We should hire you to organize vacations for us. <smile>
