Gabe, you are in boulder right? you should try and connect with Ben Fullerton (he was the photog at the ruckus last year w/ the backpacker truck) he is in boulder and has afternoons free occasionally. His user name is generalbenson

There's a reason why the liquor store on the main drag is still in business.

I'm not exactly sure what date yet. Maybe next Friday or first Friday in June. If the weather permits of course. Would be nice to get more people to go, happy to split gas costs.

I agree Jammer - I got a lot of helpful feedback from both forums...I think we should have a successful trip.
Thanks again for the advice!

Our FIFTH anniversary, and since we cancelled our original plan to go back to Thailand, we need to make it a good one. Now, don't get me wrong....hanging out with you guys is certainly good....how shall I say this......it just doesn't have quite the romantic qualities one would look for in an anniversary getaway (ANd before you ask, Rich, no I won't hold your hand or snuggle with you). Tiff and I will definitely be climbing SOMEWHERE but will be looking for slightly better accommodations than an old retired couple and a donkey can provide. SO, accept my heartfelt apologies, guys, and Maybe we will see you at some point this season. Josh
Don't knock the little donkey!!

wow i don't check this site enough! i had a great time up there last year and getting to know all of you, but this year it looks doubtful (for those of you who don't remember me, i was the guy sleeping in the back of his volvo!). I might be driving out west, but we'll see! maybe i can delay my trip long enough to stop up for a day.
I'll be out and about in the region a fair amount this summer, so hopefully i'll see some of you! i'll put in my hopes for good weather!

HI, I'm new to the East Coast and would LOVE to meet some climbers and get to know Rumney. Shelf Road, CO was my old crag and I know it in out, would love join if it's cool.

Awesome, I'm going to head up there for a day sometime either Monday or Tuesday to get a lay of the land. Any advice on some good 5.8-5.11's (my partner is limited in outdoor experience so it would be good to have something for both us us) thanks, andy advice appreciated, and I'll keep checking in on when and where to meet up w/your group, thanks!

the thread from last year has a decent list with **'s for the more classic routes. i'll be still up there monday with my Gf if you want to get pointed in a direction. mountain project also has a good route database. if it's open the Calm Post has a guidebook they let folks look at. it's just before the parking lot on the Right side on Buffalo road

Jake is a wealth of information.
Regardless, you'll be pointed in the right direction for your needs and abilities at the Ruckus.

You will be happy to find that your climbing has improved when you climb at Rumney. An 11 out west may be a 12 at Rumney!
You asked the right person about Rumney. I still think Jake has the guide book tattooed somewhere ...

LOL, that's funny! If there are bolts, I can get to the top of most things, but you are right, some of the stuff in the west is a different "grade" than in the east, but for me there's just a certain type of climbing that I do better at than others; I'm psyched to check it out this weekend and then meet some locals in June!

That's interesting to hear. I heard that some routes at Rumeny will be downgraded when the new guide comes out. I may be wrong, but we'll see.
