In reply to: looks like fun, if it is not to late i may be interested in climbing a couple of the days. how far is rumney from N. conway?
Katelyn, it's about an hour, I think. Just follow the Kanc to the end and head North on I-93 to the Rumney exit past Plymouth.
Keep in touch through NEB or here, I am hoping to show up for a day or two next weekend. You should hang with Meg and I since you are both climbing so strong now!
And congrats again on winning the New England North Regionals!

What Edge means is that from North Conway you drive just south through Conway, turn right onto the Kancamagus Highway, and follow this scenic drive westward through the mountains to Lincoln and I-93. Then go south (not north) on I-93 to the Rumney exit which comes just before (not after) Plymouth.

Ooops. I think I just sent Katelyn to Canada....
Of course, Ambler is right. I always come up from the south, so forgot my exits.
Oh well, it was a good time for a thread bump anyway.

It's looking like I'll be there for the day on Saturday or Sunday. I'll be staying at a friend's house in up the highway a bit. Should have some time to hang with some folks though!

I'll be up late Sat, and then Sun/Mon.
I think I might have to pass up camping in favor of staying at Dad's cabin in Ashland, unless some "responsible adults" would like to help me convince him otherwise...
I'll have to be careful not to tire myself out Sunday, because some friends, Social Outcast and I have a doubledate on Monday.

Kinda trolling in the wrong lake on this one don't ya think, Jules?
As for Wideguy, take me off the "Maybe" list and plop me firmly on the "Can't be there" list. :evil:

Jealous, yet fearing the crowds of Memorial Day Weekend.
BTW when is Bike Week? Another weekend to avoid Rumney, if only for the traffic on the way back south.
Work weekends, climb all week.

Everyone from New England will be at Rumney, but the entire city of New York will be at the Gunks.

This kinda came up on another board...
Try to carpool as much as you can .. the parking lots are going to be pretty busy i suspect and there is no along the road parking other then in the marked spots.. if there are no spots or in the parking lot there is parking at the town lot before you take the turn onto buffalo road(thanks for the info loran)
Don't forget lots of water, bug spray, fooooooood, and patience.. walls will be busy and projects full but the rock willllll be there for a long time :)
I don't think i'll be camping but we'll try to stop in at least one of the nights to see what craziness is going down
sincerly
Your lord and master.....
Jake

Thanks for the tips jakedatc.
There will be a large grill for anyone to use. (I have 4 bags of charcole at the site.) There is also a large fire pit for the evenings. If you want to bring a cooking stove for your personal use, this is fine, but there can be no campfires around the tents. The area is large enough for everyone, but, it being part of their lawn, I've been asked that this be followed.
The car pool is a great idea. There is enough room at the site to keep the cars safe if anyone decides to pool it.
There is good news about the bugs ... it'll be windy this weekend which will keep them little buggers at bay! Just in case Mother Nature decides to change her mind, bringing some bug juice is a good idea.
Any more tips ... suggestions?
