Hey Everyone, Just wanted to put the word out there that I still have room in some of the clinics for the Vous weekend. You can check out the full line-up on the event website [url]www.newriverrendezvous.com/clinics To sign up for a clinic, first register for the event and then email me your registrations at info@newriverclimbing.com
Laters!
Well, why don't you update the website so people know what classes are open and which one's are full.

Hennessey, Great idea, why didn't I think of that? FYI...The event website is updated almost daily where you can get all the latest news as well as info on which clinics are full and which are still open.
In regards to the clinics. As per the rules, I have registered for my one clinic, and one clinic only. But can you show up at the Hospitality tent and get on the waiting list to take a second clinic?
I only ask because right now it looks like I'm heading down solo and taking clinics is a good way to meet people/make the most of your day.
Also, I wonder if anyone is sticking around in the area on the Monday after the Vous? Since it's a holiday I was hoping to climb till early afternoon and I'll need a partner.

You sure can, just show up in the morning at clinic check in and if there are any slots available you can slide right in. Bring your climbing gear with you so you'll be ready to roll. Clinic check in starts at 8:30am at the NRAC Hospitality booth.
I bet loads of people will stick around to climb on Monday, I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding climbing partners.

Hey GG,
If you find yourself partnerless and don't mind dragging a gumby around (start cursing on hard 8's/9's, fall up easy 10's) I could be talked into sticking around until midday on Monday since I probably won't get a chance to climb during the event since I'll be busy breaking stuff in the NRAC tent....
-a.
That would be awesome!
And FWIW the New kills me. I can't crack climb worth a crap and I still don't do very well with the style of the sport climbing either.
When it comes to the New I'm pretty weak sauce myself.
I'll track you down at the gear breaking area during the 'Vous. I'll have to go through the booty pile at home and see if I have anything interesting to bring you too.

How would this event be as an introduction to the area? I mean, I realize it's not going to be a tour, but does it assume knowledge of the area? Would it be better to have been there before? If so, I suppose I could always just spend a few days there beforehand if I need to.

If you are planning to compete on Saturday, then yes, prior knowledge and climbing experience of the area would be helpful b/c you need to tick a certain number of climbs and you might want to strategize which area/areas would be best-suited for your goals.
Othervise, I cannot see why you would need to have any prior knowledge. If you are signing up for a clinic, I am sure the instructor will instruct you on how to get to where you need to go.
And if you are just hoping to climb with other people, going to the 'vous is a good introduction to the area b/c there would be lots of people around, and you'll be able to get advice from the regulars about where you should go to best suit your needs.

Of course! Just stop by Water Stone Outdoors, the climbing shop in downtown Fayetteville, they have tons of gear, clothing, guidebooks and loads of other stuff. You can get directions of their website. They're open 8-8 everyday. http://www.waterstoneoutdoors.com

More to the point, I've been too busy for Stalkbook lately... You find a ride back East for this, Magnus? Or will we be haggis-free at the NRR? Come on... You know you want to go... Hell, I'm going, which means you have to go...
-a.
EDIT- And pick up Spikeddem on your way. Make a weekend out of it, whydoncha?
I'm still trying. Might just have to try and hitch, but we'll see... If one more person gets pussywhipped into not giving me a ride, I'm gunna teabag them in the teeth.
