WTF! The weather forecast for Friday is like 48 degrees!!! Satrday is not bad either, and Sunday has possibility of rain, but it's too early to know that definitively.....

Anyone interested in getting some climbing in on any of those days, if the wetaher holds? Please let me know. I could smack myself for not getting out this past weekend.....

maybe i'll be up for it if you promise not to use your orange alien.

But seriously, maybe. I'm not sure what my work schedule looks like, and if you don't mind climbing with someone new.

I was thinking the same thing, but there's no way I can get down there this weekend.

Surely you could manage to hop on one leg up Easy Overhang, or Betty or something....

Sadly, I'm not even supposed to be walking. I have a walker-boot that allows me to "get around and not use a crutch", but actually doing something active is not a good idea.

I've got an appt. this Thursday to check on progress; perhaps I'll be let out early for good behavior.

Not a bad idea - if it's on Sunday. The bad thing about living in the middle of nowhere is that it takes a bit of doing to get your cable set up; It requires a home visit from the company, to "install everything". Read: we plug the cable jack into the back of the cable box, and hand you the remote. I get to spend my Saturday waiting for the "Caaabble Guuuuuy". What a joke. *snort*

It's still better than living in Manhattan, though.

Got room for one more?

I couldn't get there before 5ish on Friday, so I would be climbing Sat/Sun. I must preface this by saying I've only lead a trad route once and don't have a rack. But I've got plenty of practice cleaning and have a nut tool :)

Hey Everyone - Thanks for all the responses. Let's keep our fingers crossed that the weather gets back to unseasonably warm! Right now there are threats of precip for Sat/Sun. It's still too early to tell, so I will definitely keep in touch with everyone as the weekend gets closer.

It looks so far like you guys are interested in Saturday and/or Sunday.... I am still interested in Friday, - is there anybody out there who wants to climb Friday?

Happiegrrrl, agree with you on the weather and I would be interested in friday. I have to see if I can get out of work though, and I will let you know later today if I can.

Fri looks warm, with a thunderstorm and periods rain in the evening. Sat look to get colder and windy as thing dry out. Not as nice as I thought.

Hey Everyone - Yeah...the weekend is not looking good at this moment.

I also found out that I can not get up on Friday after all, and really apologize for those who were hoping to get out that day. I hope I didn't mess up any of your plans.

90% chance of rain on Saturday. :cry:

Don't think I'll be making it up to the Gunks this weekend. Oh well. Maybe next time. Anyone want to climb indoors anywhere in the greater Philly area?
