In reply to: In reply to: Sorry, ambler, but isn't Kullen supposed to be in Sweden? - Daniel Yes, but I've heard that "the best climbing in Denmark is in Sweden."
:lol: :lol: :lol: Okay, that's an argument. Might also be a cause why danish climbers are seldomly seen around here... just a thought though :lol:

IMPORTANT!!!!
Guys, I had a fabulous idea this morning. Actually, I had it yesterday and got it all set today. So, granite_grrl, as we all know, had a serious fall last week and is recovering. Wouldn't it be totally cool for her to get little goodies and notes from Europe!!?? If you were in the hospital kicking ass on recovery wouldn't that inspire you?
So -
1. Go out and buy a little postcard or souvenir (snow-dome of Paris, Mannekin Pis bottle-opener, piece of the Berlin wall... whatever!) from your part of Europe.
2. Send me a pm and I'll send you Brent's address.
3. Post it off to granite_grrl with all of our Euro-love and wishes for speedy recovery and future ass-kicking!!
Then, when she's all better, she can come over here for a visit and teach us how to climb! :D
-the booginator
ps- Though I'm sure that the hospital food sux, those of you near Amsterdam should perhaps not send your most 'famous' souveniers.

That's a kick-ass idea, sure I'm in.
Damn, it always gives me the creeps when I hear of people getting injured like that... glad to see she's a freakin' fighter!

That's a really nice idea, booger.

In reply to: In reply to: boogah I assume you changed the title of the topic... what happened to the poll?????? I have no idea... I only changed the title since the 18-20 was pretty decided... *moderator* testing*testing* :wink:
Do you really wanna get there on 18th? That pretty much blows my plans... I could be in Brussels on Sat very early (8.30 am), but Friday is hard (had to take a day off and would be in Brussels on Friday morning). Flight back goes Monday around 3 pm so I'd have to stay at yours Sun night, if that's okay with you.

* edit to say: The longer I think about it, the better sounds taking another day off 8^)

Daniel, we can organize around the flights as people start buying tickets. No worries, just let us know. Just get here!
As for staying on Sunday... Scapi has approved your visit, but she requests that you try NOT to shed on the furniture this time. :D

Okay, let's see what the others are up to. Hell, a day to spend walking around Brussels with Scapi is not the worst thing to have - though the pizza is close to unaffordable :D

Why, just why do I have the impression this promise wil be on a one-way ticket :lol:

so there seems to be a great amount of interest by equally interesting people.l
I'd be really glad to see you there and arrange a nice gathering for us.
just lets find the right date or fix something now.
tomorrow, I'm gonna FA some cracks (heard of roof cracks too!) before the bolting hordes find them!
cheers and have a nice we!

Count another American into the mix. I have looked at this area briefly online, and now I have a valid excuse to go. Its not too far from me. Maybe I can convince someone at work to join in as well...if you don't mind me bringing a total newbie.
Tisar: sorry man, I have no hot chicks to bring in for ya man.
the weekend of the 19th looks good to me, and if anyone thinks they can get a cheaper ticket going into the Hahn airport, I can pick up from there (its a 45 min drive or so)

Count me in of course! I'll have to check my schedule about the dates, oh wait, I'm unemployed! Any applications I fill out will have the "when can you start" date after the gathering.
Cracks! Did I hear something about cracks at this place??! Stone_D_Cologne keep those bolting weenies away those beautiful voids of nature.

ok ppl, heres the deal.
i ahve found two flights with ryanair from venice (i can esily get there by train) to brussles and two back. i can be in brussles on 17th either at 14h or 23h and returns are at 10h and 19:30h on monday (the latter preferable because its CHEAP). prices are acceptable. but the question is... do you have a reasonble (read not too expensive) youth hostel in bussles and hows public transport from airport to hostel?
i would really like to know the answers pretty soon so i can book the flights.
and, yes, that means that im most likely coming.

In reply to: In reply to: [..] Tisar: sorry man, I have no hot chicks to bring in for ya man. [..] for distributing the (btw totally wrong) rumor I was needy in any way. :lol: I might not be totally overstrained and still haven't found the future mother of my children but I get along pretty well.
Hehehe, you're welcome :D :D
In reply to: Cool you're in though!

Not right now, but maybe later ;)

Overlord - there is one VERY cheap (FREE) climber's hostel known as "Taz and Paolo's". Daniel will be staying there as well, so you won't be bored during the day. Probably hungover, but not bored. :lol: As long as you don't mind dog-hair all over your clothes, I think you'll like it.
From Brussels Charleroi Ryanair has a bus service that runs to the Gare du Midi (the main train station in Brussels). From there, you hop on the metro for about 5 minutes to get to our place. Just get your tickets fixed and send us the details. If your flight arrives in the evening, we can probably even pick you up from the airport.

Cool! I can fly with SN and since Rasto will be there on Friday too I'll bite and take the flight Friday early(est) in the morning. Will head back on Monday around 3pm (so no running through endless airport corridors at freaking to early am and almost missing the flight this time).

Cool Daniel!
If Rasto is already here, he can let you in at our place. If not, we can work out some way to leave you a set of keys so you're not stranded in the city for the day.
